The 200 Nuevos Pesos denomination was part of Uruguay's post-tablita monetary reconstruction, issued after the catastrophic 1982 peso crash that wiped out much of the country's middle class through forced devaluations and frozen dollar accounts. The Nuevo Peso itself had been introduced in 1975 at 1,000 old pesos — by 1986, inflation had made even that replacement currency an awkward unit for everyday transactions.
Ciccone Calcografica, the Buenos Aires security printer, handled much of the Río de la Plata region's banknote production during this period, which made geographic and logistical sense for smaller central banks without domestic printing infrastructure.
