| Beschrijving voorzijde | Black intaglio print on yellow and orange underprint; a central vignette presents a woman in a straw hat, flanked by allegorical figures on either side. The note carries bilingual inscriptions across the upper and lower panels referencing the authorizing law of December 26, 1907. The overall design is characteristic of early twentieth-century American Bank Note Company engraving style, with fine guilloche work in the underprint. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in orange; the central motif is the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Paraguay set within a circular medallion, surrounded by the country name in a curved legend. The face value numeral "1" appears on both lateral sides of the central medallion. The composition is restrained and typical of the period's single-color reverse treatments. |

Paraguay's Caja de Conversión was established in 1907 specifically to stabilize the peso fuerte after decades of inflationary chaos following the catastrophic War of the Triple Alliance, which had effectively destroyed the country's financial infrastructure and killed a significant portion of its population. The conversion board's notes were intended to be fully backed by gold and foreign exchange — a hard discipline the institution struggled to maintain almost from the start.
ABNC's engraving work on this series is typically fine, but the real interest lies in the issuer's brief operational window before monetary pressures eroded the convertibility guarantee it was founded to uphold.
