| Opmerkingen |
The Banco del Paraguay was a short-lived institution — established in 1936 and dissolved in 1952 when the Banco Central del Paraguay took over. This 500 Guaranies note predates the Guaraní's formal adoption as the national currency, which didn't occur until 1944; the Departamento Monetário designation reflects the transitional administrative structure in place during the final years of the old Peso-to-Guaraní conversion period.
De La Rue's London contract for Paraguayan notes during wartime is itself notable — transatlantic shipment of currency paper during active U-boat operations in the South Atlantic was a genuine logistical risk, not a routine procurement matter.
