0.10 Nuevo Peso not overprinted issue

When Uruguay redenominated in 1975, replacing the old Peso at 1,000:1 with the Nuevo Peso, transitional notes were needed quickly. Most low-denomination Nuevo Peso issues were created by overprinting existing Peso stock — but this 0.10 value was issued without any overprint, printed fresh by De La Rue on a new order. That distinction matters for cataloguing: the absence of an overprint is a feature, not an omission, which is precisely why it carries no Pick number in the standard reference.

De La Rue's involvement signals an intention toward quality that the inflationary environment of mid-1970s Uruguay quickly made irrelevant — the 0.10 Nuevo Peso was worth a fraction of a US cent within a few years of issue.
