The story
The front is captioned as portraits of the educators Adela and Celsa Speratti, sisters born in the 1860s who trained as teachers in Corrientes, Argentina, and became pioneers of education in Paraguay. The back shows school students parading with Paraguayan flags in honour of their teachers, and the Guaraní text reflects the country’s bilingual heritage. A local report says the second portrait is actually Concepción Silva de Airaldi, not Celsa.
Front
Two conjoined portraits of women with ruffled and lace collars and the caption “Adela y Celsa Speratti”, Paraguayan coat of arms seal, Treasury emblem with lion and Phrygian cap and “Paz y Justicia” motto, open book emblem, two signatures with printed titles Gerente General and Presidente, legal tender text citing Ley 489 of 29 June 1995, “Año 2017” text, hand-shaped ornamental motifs
Back
Parade of school students carrying Paraguayan flags, “República del Paraguay” heading, Guaraní denomination text “Mokoi Su Guaraní”, green guilloche frame, open book emblem
