| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations, this coin was part of a globally coordinated commemorative program in which dozens of member states released silver pieces during 1995. Uruguay joined the UN as a founding member in 1945 — one of the original 51 signatories to the San Francisco Charter — making the commemoration locally meaningful rather than merely obligatory. The .925 silver specification aligns with the international standard adopted across most participating mints for the series.
