| Obverse description | Host coin obverse of the Argentine Confederation 1854 1 Centavo, featuring a radiant sun with a human face at center. Superimposed upon this design is a circular Paraguayan countermark punch bearing the 'Sello de Hacienda' device: a seated lion below a Liberty cap mounted on a staff, flanked by the countermark date 1869. The host coin legend CONFEDERACION ARGENTINA arcs around the periphery, while the countermark date 1869 and the host coin date 1854 both appear within the field. The countermark was applied as an emergency measure during the post-war period to validate circulating foreign copper coinage for use in Paraguay. |
