18XX Paraguay Peso Struck Over a Chile 1849 8 Escudos<br />
The largest gold overstrike was a Pattern for the Paraguay Peso. The unfinished die only had the<br />
first two digits of the date. It was struck over an already struck Chile 1849 8 Escudos and is in<br />
magnificent condition. There is considerable detail of the 8 Escudos visible on both the obverse<br />
and reverse under the design for the Paraguay Peso. This is the most fascinating gold overstrike<br />
in this set due to its large size, condition of preservation, detail present from both designs and its<br />
status as being unique.<br />
18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over a Chile 1853 10 Pesos<br />
The next gold overstrike was a Pattern for the Paraguay 50 Centavos. Once again the unfinished<br />
die only had the first two digits of the date. It was struck over an already struck Chile 1853 10<br />
Pesos and is also in magnificent condition. There is considerable detail of the 10 Pesos visible<br />
on both the obverse and reverse under the design for the Paraguay 50 Centavos. Since the Chile<br />
10 Pesos was larger than the Paraguay 50 Centavos, the original Chile 10 Pesos design is visible<br />
around the peripheral. This pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.<br />
