Paraguayan peso fuerte

FTM000088 · Research draft

A documented account-unit or currency-system transition supports this predecessor identity; not admitted from a specimen or inherited label alone.

One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1820–1943; this does not establish the entire lifetime.

A 16 May 1820 Paraguayan order specified a monthly public salary of six pesos fuertes. The salary fact is supported. Grouping this earlier local peso fuerte with the existing predecessor profile is qualified across the war and later monetary reorganizations. · C1274
