| Additional information |
Paraguay's stainless steel coinage of the mid-1970s was produced under Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship, a regime that had strangled the country's economy through patronage networks and contraband trade so thoroughly that the informal economy dwarfed the formal one. Coins of this period circulated alongside a thriving black market in Brazilian cruzeiros and Argentine pesos along the border towns.
The two-year run ending in 1976 was not replaced immediately, leaving this type in active circulation well into the 1980s.
