| Obverse description | Right-facing three-quarter portrait of Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, the founder of Montevideo, rendered in high relief against a background of rusticated ashlar stonework characteristic of colonial-era fortification walls. The denomination N$ 5 and the abbreviated country name URUGUAY are incised into one of the stone blocks, integrating the legend organically into the architectural motif. The overall design conveys a sense of historical gravitas befitting a commemorative issue. |
