| Reverse description | A bold, unadorned bust of Sir Winston Churchill in left-facing profile dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail to his characteristic jowls and aged features. The legend WINSTON CHURCHILL arcs around the upper periphery in widely spaced capital letters, flanked by two raised dot stops. The lower field is plain, and the entire design is framed by a beaded border near the rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of a broader series of foreign-hero commemoratives that Paraguay produced throughout the early 1970s — a pattern common among smaller nations seeking hard currency through collector sales rather than circulation revenue. Churchill died in January 1965, and the nearly decade-long gap before this issue reflects no particular anniversary; the series was commercially rather than historically motivated.
