Paraguay Coat of Arms, 1 Centavo

Paraguay · 1900 · 1 Centavo

This definitive stamp features the national coat of arms of Paraguay. The central design shows a lion seated before a pole topped with a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty, all enclosed within a circular border inscribed 'REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY'. The denomination 'UN CENTAVO' is prominently displayed at the bottom.

Issued at the turn of the 20th century, this stamp was part of a series reflecting Paraguay's national identity and sovereignty during a period of reconstruction and modernization following the devastating Paraguayan War.
