Comment
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American statesman, politician, and lawyer who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. He preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the U.S. economy.Interesting fact
The 1500 Guaraníes (Abraham Lincoln) coin from Paraguay, made of Gold (.900) and weighing 10.70g, is a non-circulating coin that was minted in 1974. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, on its obverse side. This is unusual because Abraham Lincoln has no direct connection to Paraguay or its history. The inclusion of Lincoln's image on the coin may have been a nod to his reputation as a strong leader and advocate for democracy, or it may have been a gesture of goodwill towards the United States. Regardless of the reason, the coin's unique design makes it a standout among other coins from Paraguay and a fascinating collector's item.
