NEW BOOK: 4 PESOS FUERTES 1867

It has been years since the Republic of Paraguay, in the heart of South America, published numismatic pamphlets in print. This year, a new research work will be presented in print and available to the public.

Thanks to the support of the Library of Congress of the Nation – AUGUSTO ROA BASTOS, and its Director General, Mr. José Samudio Falcón, we will be presenting the research work of numismatist Raúl Olazar, entitled:

NUMISMATIC PAMPHLET – 4 PESOS FUERTES 1867 – Paraguay's First Gold Coin.

Olazar has presented several books to us previously, but this will be his first Numismatic Booklet published in physical format in the country. This high-quality publication aims to educate and contribute to culture, especially for those who are passionate about Paraguayan numismatics and everything related to the FIRST GOLD COIN of 1867. With this, he continues his arduous task of educating and disseminating the monetary history of Paraguay.

The work focuses on a highly historic piece that currently resides in neighboring countries such as Argentina and Brazil, but none are found in any local numismatic museum (in Paraguay). The FIRST GOLD COIN carries with it a rich history, minted during a dark period for the country and imbued with fascinating symbolism, as it was minted during the War of the Triple Alliance.

This is a significant achievement for Paraguayan numismatics, which will have future support materials where students, scholars, and interested parties in general can consult the topic.

The design and creative work of this publication is by the esteemed Johnson Quiñonez.

The brochures will be distributed entirely and exclusively by Mr. Olazar to friends, collectors, numismatists, and the general public interested in purchasing them.

The cost of each copy is $10 USD, and shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser.
