Comment
Alfredo Stroessner (November 3, 1912 – August 16, 2006) was a Paraguayan Army officer who served as President of Paraguay from 1954 to 1989. He ascended to the position after leading an army coup in 1954. His 35-year-long rule, marked by an uninterrupted period of repression in his country, is the longest in modern South American history. Stroessner's rule is ranked 20th-longest among non-royal national leaders since 1900 and made him one of the world's longest-serving non-royal heads of state.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1973, but it bears the date 1968. This is because the coin was minted in commemoration of the 4th term of President Stroessner, who served from 1954 to 1989, and the date 1968 marks the beginning of his fourth term in office.
