| Obverse description | Central device features a radiant sun with a human face, known as the 'Sol de Caballera' or Haired Sun, with long straight rays alternating with wavy rays emanating from the central facial motif. The design is executed in high relief against a flat field. The circular legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY runs along the upper periphery, with the date 1844 displayed in the lower exergual area flanked by small decorative stars. The engraving, attributed to Agustín Jouve, reflects the neoclassical style typical of mid-nineteenth-century Latin American coinage produced at the Paris Mint. |
