Patagonia and Araucania (New France), copper pattern 2 centavos, King Orllie-Antoine, 1874. KM-X1. 10.0 grams. Lustrous UNC with original fields ranging from medium copper to dull gray-brown, interesting issue that hails from the brief but fascinating reign of Orllie-Antoine I, who with French support had himself crowned king by the Indian chiefs below the 42nd parallel, a fantasy kingdom recognized only by France (where this coin was struck, in Paris) and soon overrun by the government of Argentina.
