Obverse description Central field features one of the two national coats of arms of Paraguay, specifically the Sello de Hacienda (Treasury Seal), rendered in fine relief. The country name REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY is inscribed in the outer legend, accompanied by the national motto PAZ Y JUSTICIA. The denomination 10 Rs appears in the lower portion of the design, beneath the armorial device. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-19th century South American engraving practice, with a formal, heraldic arrangement typical of pattern coinage prepared for official consideration.
