Comment
Of the total mintage, 1,000,000 were minted in 1953 and 1,000,000 were minted in 1954.Interesting fact
The 25 Céntimos coin from Paraguay, minted in 1953, is interesting because it was made during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin's nickel brass composition was likely chosen as a cost-saving measure, as pure copper coins were too expensive to produce at the time. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still features a detailed design, including the national emblem and the words "República del Paraguay" (Republic of Paraguay) on one side, and the denomination and year on the other. This coin is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the Paraguayan people during difficult times.
