| Comments |
The P#86 series was produced by two separate printers — De La Rue in London and Oberthur Fiduciaire in France — a dual-sourcing arrangement that Uruguay's Banco Central used across several denominations during this period to manage contract risk and supply continuity. Notes from the two sources are externally identical but can sometimes be distinguished by subtle differences in ink density and registration precision under magnification.
The 20 Pesos Uruguayos is the lowest denomination in regular issue during these years, meaning it absorbed the heaviest circulation wear of any note in the series.
