| Additional information |
Paraguay's 1953 coinage was issued under the Stroessner regime, which had seized power in a coup just the previous year. The country's monetary system had been badly destabilized by decades of political turbulence, and this small-denomination issue was part of a broader recoinage effort to reassert institutional normalcy under the new government.
