| Additional information |
Paraguay last qualified for a FIFA World Cup in 2010, making this issue something of a bittersweet commercial proposition — the country whose central bank struck it had no team participating in the tournament being commemorated. The coin belongs to the broad wave of World Cup licensing deals FIFA sold to mints and issuing authorities worldwide ahead of Russia 2018, a program that generated revenue for FIFA regardless of the issuing nation's footballing relevance.
