Interesting fact
The 1 Centésimo 1870 coin from Paraguay was designed by French engraver and medalist, Alphée Dubois. Dubois was a prominent artist who also designed coins for other countries, including France, Belgium, and Mexico. The coin's design features a portrait of Paraguay's first president, Carlos Antonio López, on the obverse, and a depiction of the country's national emblem on the reverse. The coin's copper composition and 5.0 g weight were also unusual for coins of its time, making it a unique and interesting piece in the history of numismatics.
