| Reverse description | Stylized design depicting a revolutionary flag and an upright spear or lance set against a rippling field, evoking the banner of the Uruguayan independence movement. A horizontal band across the center of the field carries the bold incuse legend 'LIBERTAD O MUERTE' (Freedom or Death), the motto of José Artigas and his revolutionary cause. The composition is rendered in a stark, modernist style with minimal ornamentation, emphasizing the symbolic elements of nationhood and resistance. |
