| Additional information |
Paraguay's Munich Olympics series was issued in 1972 as a hard currency earner rather than for domestic circulation — the country had no meaningful connection to the Games and produced the coins almost entirely for the international collector market. This was a common strategy among smaller nations through the 1970s, using licensed Olympic themes to generate foreign exchange.
KM#36 is one of several denominations in the set, all struck in .999 silver at a fineness rarely used for Paraguayan coinage of the period.
