Interesting fact
The 10 Céntimos coin from Paraguay, minted between 1944 and 1947, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of aluminum bronze, a metal alloy that is generally resistant to corrosion, these coins are known to have a high likelihood of developing a unique patina or discoloration over time due to exposure to certain environmental factors. This has led collectors to refer to these coins as "rainbow coins" because of their multicolored appearance, which can range from shades of brown, green, and blue to pink and purple.
