| Obverse description | Central device features a lion passant to the left, positioned at the base of a palm tree surmounted by a radiant star, the national symbols of Paraguay rendered in bold relief. An owl or eagle perches to the left of the lion, referencing the Paraguayan coat of arms iconography. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY around the upper periphery, with PAZ Y JUSTICIA across the centre field and 4 PESOS Ftes along the lower exergual area. The engraving displays the refined neoclassical style characteristic of the Paris Mint workshops under Bouvet. The field is smooth with moderate relief throughout the design elements. |
