Comment
Catálogo de Monedas y Ensayos de la República del Paraguay. Miguel Angel Pratt Mayans, 2013 (M2 - Tin).Extremely Rare and one of the finest patterns of Paraguay. Paris mint.
KM-Pn2, coin rotation, a choice example of this very rare pattern with minimal "bubbling" in the metal from 3 to 6 o'clock along the obverse edge. The overall eye appeal of this coin is very pleasing with bold details and considerable original mint luster.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Reales (Lead Pattern) 1854 from Paraguay made of Lead (Tin?) weighing 19.60 g is a rare and unique coin, as it was minted in lead, which is not a common metal used for coinage. This fact makes it particularly interesting and valuable to collectors.
