| Opmerkingen |
Issued during the War of the Triple Alliance — the catastrophic conflict that ultimately killed an estimated 60–70% of Paraguay's adult male population — this note was produced entirely within Asunción under conditions of near-total blockade. Paraguay had no access to foreign printers, no viable trade routes, and rapidly depleting resources. The Tesoro Nacional printed its own currency out of necessity, not choice.
The watermark is the one concession to security on an otherwise primitively produced note. Domestically printed wartime Paraguayan issues from this period are notoriously crude by contemporary standards, and the paper quality reflects wartime scarcity directly.
