| Obverse description | The Paraguayan national arms occupy the centre of the field, depicting a five-pointed star within a radiate glory, encircled by a wreath of palm and olive branches tied at the base, with a small fineness mark '900' incused below the denomination. The date '1972' is divided across the lower field, flanking the wreath, with '19' to the left and '72' to the right. The denomination '1500 GUARANIES' is inscribed in two lines below. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY' runs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic full-length figure of a male athlete in mid-stride dominates the field, depicted in high relief with arms raised and one knee bent in a running or javelin-throwing pose, rendered in a bold, modernist athletic style. To the lower left, the five interlocked Olympic rings are prominently displayed beneath the athlete's arm. To the right of the athlete, a stylised sunburst or starburst decorative device fills the field. The two-line legend 'MUNCHEN / 1972' is inscribed to the lower left below the Olympic rings. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |
