Catálogo de Monedas y Ensayos de la República del Paraguay. Miguel Angel Pratt Mayans, 2013 (M73)Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Guaraní coin was designed by the Paraguayan artist and engraver, José de la Vega, and it features a unique blend of indigenous and modernist elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a Guarani warrior, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Paraguayan coat of arms. The use of nickel in the coin's composition gives it a distinctive silver-gray color that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
