Paraguay, silver military medal, 1867, Battle of Tataiyba, very rare. Pratt-CP12. 14.11 grams; 30mm. Obverse: rider holding lance on horse trotting right within legend EL MARISCAL LOPEZ A LOS VALIENTES DE TATAIYBA; reverse: 21 / DE / OCTUBRE / 1867 within wreath. VF, a bit crude as is usual for the type, some surface marks, fully detailed, mix of green / gold toning with dark spots on reverse. An important issue for Paraguayan collectors that is apparently scarce in copper but very rare in silver or gold.
