| Obverse description | Dark-gray intaglio print on olive guilloche underprint. At left, an allegorical female figure accompanied by a cherub forms the principal vignette; at right, the ruins of Humaita are rendered in fine engraving. A red overprint reading 'CINCO GUARANIES' is applied at centre, revaluing the note from its original 500 Pesos Fuertes denomination. |
