| Obverse description | Right-facing three-quarter portrait bust of Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, founder of Montevideo, rendered in relief against a stylized rusticated stone fortification wall evoking colonial-era defensive architecture. The denomination N$ 5 and the abbreviated country name URUGUAY are incuse-engraved within one of the wall's stone blocks, integrating the inscriptions artistically into the background design. The legend ZABALA FUNDADOR DE MONTEVIDEO arcs around the field, identifying the subject and his historical significance. |
