I've come across a coin that says '20 centimes' on it and I'm wondering what it is. Is it some kind of foreign currency? What does 'centimes' even mean? And how much is it worth in today's money?

In German-speaking areas, it is known as 'Rappen' with the abbreviation 'Rp.'. Italian-speaking regions use 'centesimo', abbreviated as 'ct.', while in Romansh-speaking parts, it is called 'rap' and shortened to 'rp.'.
