Large bold numeral '20' dominates the upper field, with the denomination legend 'CENTÉSIMOS' arcing beneath in prominent incuse lettering. The entire central device is encircled by a symmetrical wreath of two olive or laurel branches, tied at the base with a ribbon bow, framing the denomination in a classic numismatic style consistent with mid-twentieth-century Latin American coinage. |

Uruguay's shift to aluminium coinage in the 1960s was a direct response to chronic inflation that had been eroding the peso's purchasing power since the early postwar years. By 1965, the metal value of the older cupro-nickel pieces was threatening to exceed their face value — a familiar problem for small-denomination coinage across Latin America in this period. Aluminium solved the immediate cost problem but signaled how badly the monetary situation had deteriorated.
