| Obverse description | The obverse features a radiant sun with a human face at center, rendered in high relief with straight and wavy alternating rays extending toward the rim. The sun motif, a national symbol of Uruguay, dominates the field. The circular legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1856 appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small ornamental dots. The overall design is bold and emblematic, consistent with mid-19th century South American republican coinage. |
