| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY PAZ Y JUSTICIA 4 PESOS Ftes (Translation: Republic of Paraguay Peace and Justice 4 Pesos Fuertes) |
| Reverse description | A seated allegorical female figure representing Liberty occupies the central field, holding an olive branch in one hand as a symbol of peace and a sword and scales in the other as emblems of justice. The composition is executed in a classical neoclassical engraving style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century European pattern coinage. The date of issue, 1855, is inscribed below the figure, serving as the sole legend on this face. The overall design conveys the ideals of the newly independent Paraguayan republic. |
