| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the Friendship Bridge connecting Ciudad del Este to Foz do Iguaçu, this coin marks a genuine infrastructure milestone in Paraguayan-Brazilian relations — the bridge, completed in 1965, replaced a ferry crossing over the Paraná River and opened the landlocked country's eastern corridor to significant cross-border trade. Paraguay's 1975 commemorative gold series was largely aimed at collector markets abroad rather than domestic circulation, a common revenue strategy for the Stroessner government during that decade.
