Beschrijving keerzijde	Two stylized dolphins leaping dynamically upward toward the right, rendered in a modern artistic style with flowing lines emphasizing motion and elegance. The numeral 1 appears prominently in the central field between the dolphins, with the denomination legend PESO inscribed along the lower rim. The field is otherwise plain, allowing the sculptural quality of the marine motif to dominate. The design reflects the contemporary aesthetic sensibility applied to Uruguayan coinage proposals of the late 1960s.

Aanvullende informatie	Pattern coinage from Uruguay in 1968 falls within the country's prolonged monetary instability preceding the 1969 currency reform, when the nuevo peso replaced the old peso at a rate of 1000:1. This piece was almost certainly part of the design and specification trials conducted ahead of that redenomination — a silver pattern at this weight suggesting the new series was initially explored in precious metal before the production issues settled on base compositions.
