Banknote Billet Paraguay 2000 guaranies 2008

The 2000 guaranies banknote issued by Paraguay in 2008 pays tribute to two iconic female figures in Paraguayan educational history: Adela and Celsa Speratti. These two sisters played a fundamental role in the development of public education in Paraguay in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing in particular to teacher training and the modernisation of the national education system.

The banknote belongs to the series of Paraguayan denominations celebrating national figures who have left their mark on the country's history. The portrait of the Speratti sisters appears on the obverse of the note, accompanied by the graphic and security features characteristic of the monetary issues of the Central Bank of Paraguay during this period. The reverse generally features architectural or symbolic motifs linked to Paraguayan cultural and educational heritage.

The face value of 2000 guaranies places this banknote among the intermediate denominations of the Paraguayan monetary system. Paraguay's monetary unit, the guaraní, takes its name from the indigenous Guaraní people, whose language and culture remain deeply rooted in the country's national identity.

Produced on a cotton or composite substrate in accordance with the technical specifications of the issue. The security features incorporated into Paraguayan banknotes of this series generally include watermarks, security threads and inks with special properties, in compliance with the international anti-counterfeiting standards in force at the time of issue.
