18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over a Chile 1859 10 Pesos
This gold overstrike was also for the Paraguay 50 Centavos Pattern. Using the same unfinished
die as the gold overstrike described above, it was struck over an already struck Chile 1859 10 Pesos
and is in gem condition. Since the size of the Chile 10 Pesos was very close to the diameter of the
Paraguay 50 Centavos, some of the design of the understrike is visible on both sides. This pattern
overstruck in gold is also unique.
18XX Paraguay 20 Centavos Struck Over an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos
The fourth gold overstrike was created when an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos was used instead of a
blank planchet to strike this Paraguay 20 Centavos. Once again, the unfinished die was used to
strike this coin. There is considerable detail of the Argentina 5 Pesos on both the obverse and
reverse under the design of the Paraguay 20 Centavos. It is also in gem mint state condition. This
pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.
