| 背面描述 | Central device consists of the bold numeral '40' enclosed within a plain raised circle, with the denomination legend CENTESIMOS inscribed in a curved band immediately above the numeral within the inner circle. The central device is surrounded by a wreath of two laurel or olive branches tied at the base, their stems meeting at the bottom and their leaves extending symmetrically upward to frame the central medallion. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with the reverse style of Uruguayan copper coinage of the period, engraved by Lucien Mége at the Paris Mint. |

Uruguay's early copper coinage was produced under extremely difficult logistical circumstances — the young republic lacked its own mint entirely and contracted production abroad, with these large-flan pieces struck in France. The "Sol de Cabellera" type takes its collector name from an unofficial but immediately recognizable description, and the 1844 date places this issue squarely in the administration of President Fructuoso Rivera's second term, a period of intermittent civil conflict between the Colorados and Blancos that would escalate into the Guerra Grande by 1839 — a war that had already been grinding for five years by this coin's minting.
At 37 grams, these circulated hard in a cash-starved economy. Smooth-edged survivors with full flan integrity are genuinely uncommon.
