The study of the historical evolution of events, phenomena or objects worldwide
has always been interesting. Getting to know the history and origin of items will
always be of importance for any society. This is how Raúl's new book was born, a
research material entitled HISTORIA DE LA MONEDA METÁLICA EN
PARAGUAY, in collaboration with Editorial El Lector.
Currency is part of the heritage of people and has represented over time; the ideal
way to exchange goods and services, although this process has not always worked
in the same manner. Currency marked a shift in the dynamics of markets and
thanks to them several activities in this area were simplified.
Numismatics is a discipline that starts from archeology and that is responsible for
studying the coins that are issued in a nation or country. It also refers to the act of
collecting coins, even though they are not interdependent activities.
This book chronologically presents the history of our coins (PARAGUAY), from the
time of barter through its various periods and changes until it became what it is
today, one of the most stable coins in the region.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Don Miguel A. Pratt Mayans and Don Vir
Heriberto Alonso, two individuals who always gave me words of support to
continue with this passion and who unfortunately left us during the period of
development of this book.
HISTORY OF THE METALLIC CURRENCY IN PARAGUAY, a book of almost 200
pages that chronologically presents the monetary history of our country, from its
beginnings and going through its periods in detail.
The book has a cost of USD 20 and can be purchased with the author by sending
an email to

Raúl notes that the shipping cost is separate and normally around 10-15 USD.
