| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 2 PESOS is displayed prominently in the center of the field within an open laurel wreath, the numeral 2 rendered in larger relief above the word PESOS in bold capital letters. The wreath is tied at its base with a ribbon, and the date 1870 is inscribed in the exergue below. The legend LIBRE Y CONSTITUIDA arcs along the upper periphery, separated from the inner design by a milled bead border. The reverse presents a clean, uncluttered layout characteristic of the restrained neoclassical engraving style associated with the Royal Mint workshops of Leonard Charles Wyon. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Uruguay's 1870 gold coinage program was part of a broader push to establish a nationally controlled monetary system, accelerating after the country's devastating involvement in the War of the Triple Alliance ended in 1869. This pattern was almost certainly produced at the Paris Mint, which struck the majority of Uruguay's 19th-century coinage under contract. The "PnA28" designation indicates it sits in a sequence of pattern proposals, suggesting multiple denominations or design variants were submitted simultaneously rather than a single approved type progressing to circulation.
Fr#4 in Friedberg places it among the rarest Uruguayan gold issues — patterns of this period rarely survive in numbers exceeding single digits.
