100.000 Guaraníes

The Paraguay 100,000 Guaranies 2024 banknote features San Roque Gonzalez de Santa Cruz (1576-1628) on its obverse, the first missionary among the Guarani people and a significant figure in Paraguay's religious and colonial history. His image represents the deep connection between Paraguay's indigenous heritage and Christian missionary influence. The reverse side depicts the Itaipu hydroelectric dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric facilities and a symbol of Paraguay's modern infrastructure and economic development. The 100,000 denomination was introduced during the hyperinflation period between 1990 and 1998, when higher denominations became necessary for everyday transactions. The banknote continues in circulation with updated security features reflecting modern currency standards.
