Interesting fact
The 5 Céntimos coin from Paraguay, made of Aluminium bronze, was the first coin in the country to feature a woman on its obverse side. The coin features the image of María Acuña, a Paraguayan heroine who fought for independence from Spain in the 19th century. This coin was a significant departure from the traditional male-dominated designs seen on coins in Paraguay and marked a milestone in the country's numismatic history.
