150 Guaraníes Konrad Adenauer

Issued as part of Paraguay's sprawling series of foreign-statesman commemoratives produced through the 1970s, this piece was struck under the Stroessner dictatorship — a government that maintained unusually warm diplomatic and commercial ties with West Germany throughout the postwar decades. Paraguay was among the more hospitable destinations for German emigration after 1945, a fact that lent these Adenauer issues a particular political resonance domestically.
