| Obverse description | Left-facing three-quarter portrait (facing slightly right) of Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, founder of Montevideo, rendered in low relief against a stylised ashlar stone wall evocative of colonial-era military fortification. The denomination N$ 5 and the abbreviated country name URUGUAY are integrated into the design as engravings within one of the stone blocks, blending the textual and pictorial elements. The legend ZABALA FUNDADOR DE MONTEVIDEO arcs along the periphery of the field, identifying the subject and his historical role. |
