18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over a Chile 1859 10 Pesos<br />

This gold overstrike was also for the Paraguay 50 Centavos Pattern. Using the same unfinished<br />

die as the gold overstrike described above, it was struck over an already struck Chile 1859 10<br />

Pesos and is in gem condition. Since the size of the Chile 10 Pesos was very close to the diameter<br />

of the Paraguay 50 Centavos, some of the design of the understrike is visible on both sides. This<br />

pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.<br />

18XX Paraguay 20 Centavos Struck Over an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos<br />

The fourth gold overstrike was created when an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos was used instead of a<br />

blank planchet to strike this Paraguay 20 Centavos. Once again, the unfinished die was used to<br />

strike this coin. There is considerable detail of the Argentina 5 Pesos on both the obverse and<br />

reverse under the design of the Paraguay 20 Centavos. It is also in gem mint state condition. This<br />

pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.<br />
