| Additional information |
Paraguay has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup since 2010, making this commemorative an exercise in aspirational marketing rather than national celebration. The Banco Central del Paraguay issued a wave of precious metal pieces tied to Qatar 2022 — a tournament in which Paraguay played no part, having been eliminated in CONMEBOL qualifying. Gold commemoratives issued by non-participating nations for major sporting events are a well-documented revenue mechanism, sold primarily to collectors rather than circulated.
