| Obverse description | Circular countermark applied by Paraguayan authorities, featuring a seated lion figure below a Liberty cap on a staff, with the date 1858 divided across the punch. The legend PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AYRES encircles the central design of the host coin in the field. The countermark is deeply struck and serves as the validating authority mark for circulation within Paraguay. |
