| Additional information |
The 1984 World Fisheries Conference, held in Rome under FAO auspices, prompted a wave of commemorative coinage from member nations — Uruguay among them. This piece is a pattern, meaning it was struck for approval or presentation purposes and never authorized for general release. The standard circulation version of this type was struck in base metal; the silver .925 realization exists in very small numbers, most likely produced at the Casa de Moneda del Uruguay for official or diplomatic distribution.
