| Additional information |
Uruguay's aluminium bronze coinage of the 1930s was introduced as a direct response to the global metal shortages and economic instability following the Depression, replacing the earlier copper-nickel issues. The 1936 date falls within the presidency of Gabriel Terra, whose 1933 self-coup dissolved parliament and governed by decree until a new constitution was ratified in 1934.
