Paraguay, coin-sized gold medal, 1964, visit by Charles de Gaulle. 10.02 grams; 25mm. Attractively lustrous with matte-smooth but lightly hairlined fields, its spartan design showing the Paraguayan lion on one side and busts of Paraguayan President Alfredo Stroessner and French President Charles de Gaulle on the other, commemorating the latter's visit to Paraguay in October 1964. We were unable to find more information about this medal, but note that Heritage sold an example of its larger sibling (50 grams, 45mm) in 2020 for $5,250 hammer. While non-denominated and medallic in theme, we note these pieces were struck in coin alignment.
