| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing bust portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, rendered in high relief with finely detailed facial features and wavy hair. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field, truncated at the lower neck. The legend '· ABRAHAM LINCOLN ·' curves along the upper periphery in bold, widely-spaced Latin letters, flanked by two raised dots as punctuation. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Paraguay's extensive commemorative gold program of the early 1970s, this piece belongs to a series that the Banco Central commissioned largely for export sale rather than domestic circulation — a foreign exchange strategy common among smaller economies during the Bretton Woods collapse, when gold coin sales to collectors abroad generated hard currency. Lincoln's inclusion in a Paraguayan series is purely commercial; he appeared alongside other world figures in companion issues marketed internationally through coin dealers and Franklin Mint-adjacent distribution channels.
The .900 fineness places it in line with pre-1933 U.S. gold standards, almost certainly a deliberate choice to appeal to American buyers.
