Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Reales (Copper Pattern) 1864 from Paraguay made of Copper weighing 19g is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the design and production process, and only a small number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
