| Reverse description | A mounted figure, representing a hero of Paraguayan independence, astride a rearing horse with right arm raised in a gesture of proclamation or triumph. A tricolor flag on a mast appears prominently in the composition, evoking the national colors of Paraguay. The surrounding circular legend commemorates the Bicentennial of Independence of the Republic of Paraguay, with the founding year 1811 and the issue year 2011 flanking the motto 'PAZ Y JUSTICIA' (Peace and Justice). The dynamic equestrian scene is rendered in high relief against a plain field. |

| Additional information |
Paraguay's independence from Spain in 1811 was declared not through armed revolt but via a bloodless coup against the local governor, making it one of the quieter separations in Latin American history. The bicentenary in 2011 prompted a wave of commemorative issues across the region, most of them contractually struck by foreign mints — this piece almost certainly among them, as Paraguay has no domestic mint of its own.
