| Obverse description | Central device depicting the Sol de Mayo — a radiant sun with a human face — composed of alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from a circular disc bearing stylized facial features. The circular legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY runs along the upper periphery, flanked by a dentilated border. The date 1857 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by small decorative floral ornaments. The overall design is executed in a bold, high-relief engraving style typical of mid-19th century South American coinage. |
