| Obverse description | The obverse features the Sello Nacional, the national coat of arms of Paraguay, centrally positioned within the field. The coat of arms is encircled by a wreath and surmounted by the May Star. The peripheral legend reads REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY, arching along the upper rim, with the partial date of issue appearing in the lower portion of the field. The design is executed in a clean, engraved style characteristic of late 19th-century South American coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Sello de Hacienda, Paraguay's treasury seal coat of arms, centrally placed within the field. This device differs from the obverse arms and served as the fiscal emblem of the Paraguayan state. The national motto PAZ Y JUSTICIA arches along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 CENTos and the fineness statement 9 Dos FINO appear in the lower portion, indicating the coin's silver content of nine-tenths fine. The overall composition is symmetrical and formally arranged in the tradition of 19th-century Latin American pattern coinage. |
