| Obverse description | Facing bust of General Juan de Garay depicted in civilian dress with necktie, rendered in moderate relief at the centre of the field. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY curves along the upper periphery, while the title GRAL. GARAY appears in a straight line below the portrait, with the four-digit date of issue immediately beneath it. The design is unadorned, with no inner border or decorative elements, allowing the effigy to dominate the composition. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which ran from the late 1960s onward and persuaded dozens of nations to mint circulating coins carrying agricultural messaging in exchange for nominal FAO funding and international visibility. Paraguay's participation fit neatly within the Stroessner regime's broader strategy of projecting developmental legitimacy to foreign institutions while maintaining tight internal control. The coin circulated across a decade-long span with no major design changes, a run typical of the low-denomination Paraguayan issues of that period.
