Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Reales (Silver "Gross Planchet" Pattern) 1869 from Paraguay is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted in the late 1860s and early 1870s, which were intended to replace the existing currency system but were ultimately never adopted. Despite this, the coin remains a unique and valuable piece of Paraguayan numismatic history.
