THE PARAGUAYAN SPERATTI SISTERS

This is an interesting note from Paraguay featuring the Speratti sisters who were instrumental in setting up the country's education system , especially for girls. The note is the 2000 Guaranies note from 2017 with Adela and Celsa Speratti on the front and a school parade with the country's flags on the reverse. A nice touch is that the clear window is in the shape of an open book.
