Points of Interest
The 1870 series commemorates Paraguay's independence after the Paraguayan War (1864–1870), with the female figure of Liberty symbolizing freedom.
The 500 and 300 Guaraníes coins are often collected for their connection to President José Félix Estigarribia, who played a key role in modernizing Paraguay in the early 20th century.
Many of these coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, particularly the 19th-century Pesos, which are rare and difficult to find in mint condition.
