Interesting fact
The 5 Pesos 1939 coin from Paraguay was designed by the artist José de la Vega, who was known for his work in sculpture and medal design. The coin features an image of Marshal Francisco Solano López, a former president of Paraguay, on the obverse side, and the coat of arms of Paraguay on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1939 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. It was a circulating coin at the time, but it has since become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
