| Obverse description | Three-quarter left-facing portrait bust of José Artigas set within a square frame, positioned in the upper portion of the field. The denomination 'N$ 5' appears to the left of the portrait, with the legend 'ARTIGAS' and mint mark 'So' inscribed alongside. Below, the commemorative inscription references the sesquicentennial of 1825, rendered in Roman numerals as 'MDCCCXXV', with 'URUGUAY' completing the legend. The design combines a classical portrait convention with a geometric framing device in a style consistent with mid-twentieth-century Latin American numismatic artistry. |

| Obverse lettering | N$ 5 ARTIGAS So SESQUICENTENARIO DE MDCCCXXV URUGUAY (Translation: 150th anniversary of 1825) |
| Reverse description | A stylized depiction of a spear and flag, emblematic of the revolutionary struggle for Uruguayan independence, occupies the central field. The design is rendered in a bold, graphic style evoking the heraldic traditions of the Uruguayan patriotic movement. The motto 'LIBERTAD O MUERTE' — meaning 'Freedom or Death' — arcs across the field as the primary legend, reflecting the battle cry of the Orientales under Artigas during the revolutionary period of the early nineteenth century. |
