| Comments |
Two printers sharing production of a single series is not unusual for high-denomination notes, but the split here between Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig and Oberthur in France means that two signature combinations correspond to at least two distinct print sources — distinguishing them requires close attention to minor typographic and security-feature variations rather than date alone. The 2011 signature pairing reflects the appointment of Mario Bergara as BCU President following a routine institutional transition, not any monetary emergency.
Uruguay's 1000 Peso Uruguayo was the highest denomination in general circulation for much of this period, introduced as part of the post-2002 banking crisis redenomination that replaced the Peso with the Peso Uruguayo at 1:1000.
