Catálogo de Monedas y Ensayos de la República del Paraguay. Miguel Angel Pratt Mayans, 2013 (M5)Interesting fact
The Pattern 4 Pesos Fuertes (Copper "Bouvet" Pattern) 1855 from Paraguay made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never officially issued. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
