| Obverse description | The Paraguayan national arms (Sello de Hacienda) displayed at centre, featuring a seated lion beneath a Phrygian cap atop a pole, enclosed within a wreath of palm and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon and crossed batons. The motto PAZ Y JUSTICIA appears on a scroll within the arms. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY runs along the upper periphery, with the divided date 19-72 flanking the lower wreath and the denomination 4500 GUARANIES inscribed below in the exergue area. A fine beaded border frames the entire design, and the fineness mark 900 appears in small characters beneath the denomination numeral. |
