| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of a Gaucho — the archetypal South American horseman and national hero — wearing a wide-brimmed hat with flowing hair visible beneath the brim. The legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the inscriptions EL GAUCHO and HEROE NACIONAL arcing across the inner field to either side of the effigy. The date 1961 appears in the lower exergue. The coin is struck within a beaded border. |

Uruguay's 1811 revolution against Spanish rule was led by José Artigas, whose cattle-driving gauchos formed the backbone of an insurgency that Spain never fully suppressed — the colony was ultimately lost not to defeat in battle but to the geopolitical collapse of the entire empire. The sesquicentennial fell in 1961, during a period of relative Uruguayan prosperity before the economic crises of the late 1960s would make silver coinage politically untenable.
Struck at the Casa de Moneda de Uruguay, the .900 fine standard matches the broader Latin American commemorative conventions of the period.
