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
The 150 Guaraníes coin featuring General Alfredo Stroessner, issued in 1972, is a non-circulating coin made of .999 silver and weighs 25 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Stroessner's birth, who was the dictator of Paraguay from 1954 until his overthrow in 1989. Despite his controversial rule, the coin remains a notable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in Paraguayan history.
