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 3000 Guaraníes (Abraham Lincoln) coin from Paraguay, made of Gold (.900) and weighing 21.30g, 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 one side, and the coat of arms of Paraguay on the other. This is unusual because Abraham Lincoln has no direct connection to Paraguay or its history, and it is not common for countries to feature foreign leaders on their currency. It is likely that this coin was minted as a collector's item or to commemorate a specific event or anniversary.
