| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed Constructivist composition in the tradition of Joaquín Torres García, with a stylized sun at center surrounded by the four symbols of the national coat of arms. An outer register contains a variety of symbolic motifs arranged around the circumference, including a Greek temple, the moon, a stepped pyramid, a bell, a thistle flower, a telecommunications tower, the Universal Man figure, the Golden Section rule, a triangle, a heart, and a fish. The date 1999 appears as the sole legend in the field. The overall design evokes mankind's universal connection to the cosmos through the visual language of Universal Constructivism. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the turn of the millennium, this piece was authorized under Uruguay's Law 17.243, which also covered a broader package of economic reforms passed in the final years of the Batlle government. The Banco Central struck a limited commemorative series through this period, though precise mintage figures for this issue remain inconsistently documented across major references — KM and SA attributions diverge on production totals.
