At the time of the creation of this pattern, only a single regular issue of coins had been made by the state of Paraguay in 1845, when 2.88 million copper 1/12 reales were struck at the Birmingham mint, with a smaller issue of 288,000 struck in Ascuncion. In 1854 and 1855, a series of pattern 10 Reales were made in Paris, but they were never adopted for the circulating coinage. It would not be until 1889 that the Paraguayan state would issue their own silver coinage.
