| Comments |
This denomination was introduced as Paraguay's largest-value circulating note at the time of its launch, reflecting the cumulative inflationary pressure the guaraní had absorbed through the Stroessner years and into the political transition that followed his 1989 ouster. The series ran long enough — spanning both the dictatorship's final years and the rocky democratic opening — that notes from opposite ends of the date range circulated in markedly different economic climates.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement was standard for Paraguayan issues of this period, the country having relied on British security printers for its higher denominations throughout the postwar decades.
