| Obverse description | The obverse features the Sello Nacional, one of Paraguay's two national coats of arms, centrally positioned within the field. The arms are encircled by the country name legend reading REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY along the upper periphery, with the date of issue 1889 displayed in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in a classical engraving style typical of late 19th-century South American coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Sello de Hacienda, Paraguay's second national coat of arms, prominently centered in the field. The national motto PAZ Y JUSTICIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination UN PESO and the fineness designation 9 Dos FINO appear in the lower portion of the design, indicating the coin's nine-tenths fine silver content. The overall composition is characteristic of the formal heraldic style employed on Paraguayan coinage of the period. |
