Uruguay's 1868 postal script issues emerged from a severe coin shortage that left small transactions essentially impossible. The government authorized the use of postage stamp-related instruments as fractional currency — a stopgap adopted across several Latin American republics during the 1860s when silver coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce.
The 15 centésimos denomination sits at an awkward value that reflects how acute the shortage was: even this mid-range fractional amount required an emergency substitute.
