Abstract
We present the results of a multicanonical simulation of the q=20 2-d Potts model in the transition region. This is a very strong first order phase transition. We observe, for the first time, the asymptotic finite size scaling behavior predicted by Borgs and Koteck\'y close to a first order phase transition point.
