Comment
These were among some of the first foreign coins minted by the Casa da Moeda do Brasil.
Interesting fact
The 5 Guaraníes coin from Paraguay, made of stainless steel and weighing 3.7 grams, is interesting because it was the first coin in the world to feature a unique design element called the "rimmed circle." This feature consists of a raised rim surrounding the coin's central design, creating a distinctive visual effect. This innovative design was later adopted by other countries and has become a popular feature in modern coinage.
