10 Centavos Silver Pattern

Paraguay's monetary system in the late 1880s was still rebuilding from the catastrophic War of the Triple Alliance, which had ended in 1870 and killed an estimated 60–70% of the country's male population. Pattern coinage from this period reflects repeated, often abortive attempts to establish a stable circulating currency — many proposed types were struck in small numbers, evaluated, and quietly abandoned without ever reaching production.

The variant designation against KM#PnB37 suggests a die or specification difference from the primary recorded pattern, though full documentation of the Paraguay pattern series from this mint remains incomplete in the standard references.
