| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylized Constructivist composition in the manner of Uruguayan master Joaquín Torres García, whose Universal Constructivism school arranged symbolic motifs within a structured grid. At center, a radiant sun is depicted, encircled by the four heraldic symbols of the national arms. An outer register of universal and civilizational symbols surrounds the composition, including a classical Greek temple, a crescent moon, a stepped pyramid, a bell, a thistle flower, a communications tower, the Vitruvian-style Universal Man figure, the Golden Section rule, a triangle, a heart, and a fish. The date 1999 appears as the sole legend. |

Struck as a pattern piece ahead of the millennium, this issue was never released for circulation — the Banco Central del Uruguay produced gold presentation strikes in the final months of 1999 as part of a broader wave of commemorative programs tied to the year 2000. Uruguay's millennium coinage program was modest compared to neighboring Argentina and Brazil, and confirmed circulation strikes in this denomination and metal simply did not follow.
