Paraguay 1907 - 100 Pesos with 1912 Dual-Side State and Treasury Revalidation Overprint Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

Archival specimen of the 1907 Banco de la República 100 Pesos, base Pick 159, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, and later transformed by one of the most historically revealing emergency overprint configurations in Paraguayan paper money. The note bears the large face overprint “Emisión del Estado – 11 de Enero de 1912,” together with the reverse fiscal validation “Departamento de Hacienda – Junta Fiscalizadora – Diez Pesos Oro Sellado – Conforme Decreto de 20 de Mayo 1912.” This dual-side treatment places the note outside the ordinary single-face revalidation pattern and identifies it as a treasury-controlled specimen of exceptional documentary importance.

Paraguay 1907 100 Pesos Banco de la República note with 1912 Emisión del Estado state overprint on the face, Pick 134, base Pick 159, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated Top Pop

Paraguay 1907 - 100 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 134, Base Pick 159)

This makes the note a key witness to the difference between ordinary bank circulation and government-backed emergency validation. The original 1907 design already carried the important value clause “Moneda Nacional ó Diez Pesos Oro Sellado,” linking the 100 Pesos paper denomination to a gold-referenced monetary formula. In the unstable economy of 1912, that wording gained renewed importance. The state overprint did not erase the old Banco de la República identity; it layered new public authority on top of it. The result was a hybrid instrument: a 1907 Waterlow & Sons banknote, still visibly carrying its original bank design and gold-value language, but now formally brought under the 1912 state emission.

Paraguay 1907 Banco de la República 100 Pesos issued note, Pick 159, non-overprinted base type later used for the 1912 state overprint issues, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, with 100 watermark and Moneda Nacional ó Diez Pesos Oro Sellado clause, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 100 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 159)

At the center of its importance is the monetary clause printed on the face: “Moneda Nacional ó Diez Pesos Oro Sellado.” This wording gave the 100 Pesos paper denomination a formal relationship to ten sealed gold pesos. In 1907, that phrase belonged to the legal and monetary structure of the original Banco de la República issue. By 1912, during Paraguay’s political and fiscal crisis, the same phrase became central to the meaning of the emergency overprints. The government’s later overprinted notes did not invent the gold-value language; they reactivated and reaffirmed language already present on this base issue. Read more →

Paraguay 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 Emisión del Estado state overprint on the face, Pick 127, base Pick 156, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 127, Base Pick 156)

The 5 Pesos denomination is especially useful for understanding the full logic of the 1912 revalidation process. The base note carries the monetary wording “Moneda Nacional ó Cincuenta Centavos Oro Sellado,” linking the paper denomination to a gold-referenced value formula. This phrase was already part of the 1907 design, but in 1912 it became more meaningful because the government was attempting to preserve official monetary order while ordinary paper confidence was under pressure. The state overprint did not create the gold-value clause; it placed state authority over a note that already carried it.
