| Additional information |
The 300 Guaraníes series commemorated successive terms of Alfredo Stroessner, who seized power in a 1954 coup and would ultimately hold Paraguay under authoritarian rule for 35 years — the longest dictatorship in South American history. By 1968, his fourth term was secured through elections in which he was the only permitted candidate. These silver issues were struck for international sale and collector markets rather than domestic circulation; most Paraguayans at the time handled only low-denomination aluminum and steel coins.
