Paraguay 1 guarani 1952

I can't find this note anywhere online!



I highly suspect this is some sort of forgery:
1) It is double-sided but in different colors.
2) It is on a thick starchy paper unlike any other banknote I've held.
3) The country's name is "Paragu".

Really good registration back to front on it. Looks like it was folded into a box at sometime. Truncation of the country name might mean the user could not be had for forgery. Very intriguing piece.

​Could it possibly be a local/village issue, low numbers printed.

This is interesting. Not many banknotes are printed the same on both front and back. I got these Australia Warner Bros notes back in 2004 when we visited Queensland. These notes were legal tender then and they are also  printed the same, front and back. 

It looks to be an exonumia piece of a Paraguayan note, perhaps as play money or a demonstration piece. The things that stand out most to me are the English “NON-NEGOTIABLE” and that Paraguay was cut off as “PARAGU”.
