Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Paraguay was designed by the French engraver and designer, Charles E. J. Droz. Droz was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and was known for his work on various coins and medals, including the Paraguayan coinage. The coin features a portrait of Carlos Antonio Lopez, the former President of Paraguay, on the obverse, and the national coat of arms on the reverse. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's composition was a common practice during that time period, as it was a durable and cost-effective material for coin production.
