| Obverse description | A horse passant to the left occupies the central field, derived from the lower-left quarter of the Uruguayan national coat of arms, symbolizing liberty. The abbreviated country name URUGUAY appears as a legend along the upper periphery, with the mint mark So and date 1976 positioned in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in a clean, medallic style within the dodecagonal flan. |

| Additional information |
Uruguay's 1976 military government commissioned a series of pattern coins as part of a broader currency reform exercise that ultimately produced the Nuevo Peso system introduced that same year. Most circulating issues from this reform were struck in base metals; silver patterns like this one were produced for archival and presentation purposes, almost certainly in very small numbers, and were never submitted for formal adoption.
