- ARGENTINA. Araucania and Patagonia (New France). Copper 2 Centavos Fantasy Pattern, 1874. PCGS MS-63 Brown. Lec-2. Narrow leg variety. Original red surfaces still abound in the protected areas of the obverse and reverse, otherwise a pleasing toned bronze. The fields are largely free of distracting marks and thus delighting the eye of the viewer. Orelie-Antoine de Tounens (born Antoine Tounens) (1825-78) was a French lawyer and adventurer who proclaimed himself king of Araucanía and Patagonia by a decree on 17 November 1860. He made it to South America but was declared insane and expelled by Chile in 1862. He reappeared in 1869 but deported to France in 1871 and again in 1874 and 1876. Estimate: $300 - $400.
