A Russian 2 kopeks coin from 1758 was found on a school yard on the Mennonite colony of Filadelfia, located at the Paraguayan Chaco. They haven't any idea of what the coin was and a picture was published on a local paper.

Many of the Mennonites living here are descendants of germans comming from colonies in Russia. Interesting find, don't you think ?
