Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Reales (Silver "Thin Planchet" Pattern) 1869 from Paraguay is a rare and unique coin, with only 20 specimens known to exist. It was minted during the reign of President Francisco Solano López, who was known for his efforts to modernize Paraguay's economy and infrastructure.
