Additional information

This piece was issued during the seventh consecutive presidential term of Alfredo Stroessner, who by 1983 had ruled Paraguay without interruption since his coup of May 1954 — making him at that point one of the longest-serving dictators in Latin American history. High-denomination gold commemoratives of this kind were standard instruments of self-legitimization for his regime, produced in limited quantities largely for foreign sale and diplomatic gift use rather than domestic circulation.

Stroessner was deposed by his own son-in-law, General Andrés Rodríguez, in February 1989.
