| Additional information |
Uruguay's 1969 peso issues coincided with a period of severe monetary instability — inflation had been eroding purchasing power throughout the 1960s, and within three years the entire peso denomination structure would be swept away by the 1975 redenomination, replacing 1,000 old pesos with a single nuevo peso. Coins of this type saw heavy circulation in their short window of relevance.
