Comment
Pratt Mayans lists more specifically lists the composition as silver plated tin.Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Reales (White Metal Pattern) 1855 from Paraguay made of Other (Silvered white metal) is a rare and unique coin that was never officially issued. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. This coin is interesting because it showcases the innovative design and craftsmanship of the mint that produced it, and it offers a glimpse into the history of Paraguay's coinage. Additionally, its rarity makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
