| 裏面の説明 | A seated allegorical female figure representing Liberty occupies the central field, depicted with classical drapery and holding an olive branch as a symbol of peace in one hand, with a sword and scales of justice nearby, referencing the national motto. The date of issue is inscribed in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals. The composition follows a neoclassical engraving style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century European pattern work. |

Paraguay's monetary infrastructure in the early 1850s was almost nonexistent — the country had operated largely on foreign coinage and barter since independence. The 1854 patterns, of which this lead piece is one, were produced as the government explored establishing a domestic coinage, an effort that ultimately came to nothing for another decade. The uncertain composition notation in the literature reflects how few confirmed examples have been studied firsthand; the KM and Massey references disagree on specifics, and surviving pieces are rare enough that no definitive spectrographic consensus exists.
