(Translation: Republic of Paraguay Peace and Justice 1867 4 Pesos Fuertes)
Reverse description Central device features a heraldic shield bearing a lion passant or similar charge, framed by an ornamental wreath of laurel or olive branches extending symmetrically from the base and curving upward along both sides of the coin. The legend VENCER O MORIR is inscribed in bold lettering along the upper arc of the coin, serving as the national motto. The field within and around the shield is modestly detailed, consistent with the restrained artistic style of the Charles pattern series. The reverse composition is well-balanced, with the wreath terminating at the lower periphery without a tied bow visible. The entire design is executed with the precision expected of a unique presentation pattern piece.
