| Additional information |
Uruguay's 1976 military government was consolidating economic control following the 1973 coup, and the Banco Central was actively exploring new coinage compositions and denominations as part of broader monetary restructuring. Pattern issues from this period are characteristically sparse in documentation — the Banco Central did not publicize rejected trials, and many Pn-series pieces from the mid-1970s survive in single-digit quantities.
