About this banknote
The "Banco de la República del Paraguay" issued this series in 1907. This series was introduced following the law of December 26, 1906, which aimed to stabilize the national currency by backing it with gold reserves. This approach was part of Paraguay's efforts to modernize its economy in the early 20th century.
The front of the 100 pesos note features an intricate design with a central depiction of a prominent building, accompanied by ornate scrollwork. The back showcases a star within a wreath, highlighted by complex geometric patterns. This banknote, catalogued as Pick 122, was printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York.
