| Reverse description | Central device depicts a zoomorphic ceramic vessel (vasija zoomorfa) of the Mixteca culture, modelled as a stylized quadruped animal with a jug-like body decorated with incised circular motifs and a handle rising from its back. The figure is rendered in high relief, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The curved legend VASIJA ZOOMORFA CULTURA MIXTECA encircles the design along the periphery in raised Latin lettering, with a small lozenge-shaped stop at the base. The overall composition reflects the pre-Columbian artistic heritage celebrated in Paraguay's commemorative gold series. |
