Uruguay's 1976 military government used the 250th anniversary of Montevideo's founding as an occasion for numismatic commemoration, but this copper-nickel striking never advanced beyond the pattern stage. Whether the rejection was budgetary, political, or simply a design committee decision is unrecorded. The dictatorship under Bordaberry and then Méndez was reorganizing the country's institutions wholesale during this period — the Banco Central itself had been subordinated to junta priorities.
