| Obverse description | Central device reproduces the obverse design of Uruguay's first silver coin struck in Montevideo in 1844, featuring the national coat of arms encircled by an oak wreath with a radiant sun rising above. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. The legend is arranged around the periphery and incorporates both the commemorative dates 1844 and 1984, affirming the historical reference. The composition is rendered in a classical republican style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century Latin American coinage. |
