Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Reales coin from Paraguay, minted in 1868, is considered a rare and unique piece due to its "error struck" status, meaning that it was mistakenly struck on a silver planchet instead of the intended copper-nickel planchet. This error has led to a significantly lower mintage of only 100 coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
