| Aanvullende informatie |
The Inter-American Development Bank held its 25th annual governors' meeting in Punta del Este in 1984, and Uruguay issued this piedfort to mark the occasion. Piedforts — struck on blanks roughly double the standard thickness — have historically served as presentation pieces and official gifts rather than circulation currency, and that function is explicit here.
Uruguay in 1984 was still under the shadow of the military dictatorship that had governed since 1973, though the transition back to civilian rule was already underway — Julio María Sanguinetti would win elections that November. Hosting a major international financial institution meeting carried obvious political significance for a government eager to signal economic reintegration.
