| Additional information |
Issued as part of the FAO's global coinage program, which recruited national mints throughout the 1960s–90s to embed agricultural messaging into everyday circulation pieces. Paraguay's participation reflected the country's heavy economic dependence on farming — at the time, agriculture accounted for the majority of export earnings, with soybeans and cotton dominating. These FAO-affiliated issues were produced in large numbers and circulated freely, which means survivors in sharp condition are harder to find than mintage figures alone would suggest.
