| Comments |
Paraguay's Banco Central was only established in 1952, replacing the earlier Banco del Paraguay system, and the early 1960s issues represent the institution's first mature series of high-denomination notes — this 100 Guaraníes among them. De La Rue's involvement brought consistent intaglio quality to a currency that had previously relied on less prestigious printers.
Three distinct signature combinations are catalogued under P#199, reflecting successive administrations within the bank's presidency and general management. The shift in serial number positioning — from lower corners to upper-left/lower-right — distinguishes the later Colmán Villamayor/Acosta pairing from its predecessor and is the quickest diagnostic when sorting within the type.
