| Reverse description | The reverse features a large numeral 1 dominating the right portion of the field, with a naturalistic sprig of a leguminous plant — bearing pods and broad leaves — occupying the left side, referencing the FAO food production theme. The legend ALIMENTOS PARA EL MUNDO curves along the upper periphery, and the denomination GUARANI is inscribed in bold capitals along the lower rim. The composition evokes the FAO series issued by numerous nations to promote world food production, with the plant motif rendered in fine relief against the plain field. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which ran from the late 1960s through the 1990s and prompted dozens of countries to mint agricultural-themed pieces as a form of soft diplomacy and rural development messaging. Paraguay's participation was modest. The FAO program ultimately produced more collector novelties than policy impact, and most issues saw limited circulation.
