| Additional information |
Paraguay's 1973 gold commemorative series was issued under the Stroessner dictatorship as part of a broader program of prestige coinage aimed at foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation. The Teotihuacán subject is notably removed from Paraguay's own pre-Columbian heritage — Teotihuacán is central Mexican, geographically and culturally distant from the Guaraní world. The choice reflects the era's fashionable pan-Americanism in commemorative programs rather than any direct historical connection.
Mintages for this series were tightly limited and production was contracted to foreign mints, keeping quality consistent across issues.
