| Obverse description | The upper register carries the bank title split around a central sheep vignette, a pastoral motif characteristic of Uruguay's agricultural economy; the denomination appears in letterpress text along the central band and in the side margins, with numeral counters at all four corners. The series designation '2da Serie' is set at upper left and right, with overprinted serial numbers above, while the place of issue and date occupy the lower margin. The overall layout follows the restrained typographic style typical of Bradbury Wilkinson engraved provincial issues of the early 1860s. |
