Description
Round, white background, red border with the inscription: "República del Paraguay", to the left a green palm branch and to the right a green olive branch, and both are tied together. In the middle there is a yellow five-pointed star.
The reverse of the arms features a lion in front of a staff and a liberty cap, with the inscription "Paz y Justicia", meaning “peace and justice”. While probably most prominent on the reverse of the national flag, the reverse of the seal is also used by the Supreme Court of Paraguay, and is featured alongside the obverse on banknotes of the national currency, the guaraní.
The first design of the coat of arms dates to the year 1820, from the time of the dictatorship of Francia.[1]
