| Beschrijving keerzijde | A seated allegorical female figure representing Liberty occupies the central field, holding an olive branch symbolising peace in one hand and a sword and scales symbolising justice in the other. The composition is rendered in a classical neoclassical engraving style typical of mid-nineteenth-century pattern coinage. The date 1867 appears in the exergue below the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paraguay in 1867 was in the third year of the War of the Triple Alliance — the most devastating conflict in South American history, which would ultimately kill the majority of the country's male population. That a silver pattern was being struck at all during this period reflects Francisco Solano López's determination to project the image of a functioning, solvent state even as the country was being systematically destroyed.
The 'Bouvet' attribution references the French engraver responsible for the dies. Patterns of this type never entered circulation — Paraguay lacked both the silver reserves and the mint infrastructure to produce coinage domestically at scale during the war years.
