Paraguay (struck at the Birmingham mint, England), copper 1/12 real, 1845, NGC AU 50 BN. KM-1.1. 6.12 grams. Considered the first official coins of Paraguay, the 1/12 real coins were struck by the Birmingham mint, contracted by Enrique Gilbert whom the Paraguayan government had entrusted with coin production. However, during the coins' journey to Paraguay, a number were stolen, leading to a revaluation of the currency before it even officially circulated! Choice rainbow toning, mostly dark blue with hints of green and red, smooth surfaces, no problems. NGC #2741430-013.
