| Obverse description | The obverse features the National Arms of Paraguay (Sello de Hacienda) centrally placed within the field, flanked by the country name legend arching around the upper periphery and the year of issue displayed below the arms. The design is rendered in a plain, utilitarian style typical of mid-nineteenth-century South American pattern coinage. The inscription is set in raised Latin lettering along the coin's border. |

| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY *1868* (Translation: Republic of Paraguay *1868*) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination 'DOS CENTS' in two lines of bold raised lettering at the center of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The national motto 'PAZ Y JUSTICIA' is inscribed in raised Latin letters arching around the upper outer border. Five five-pointed stars are evenly spaced along the lower periphery outside the beaded circle, serving as ornamental devices. The overall design is simple and typographically focused, consistent with a pattern or proof striking intended for approval rather than circulation. |
