| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination '50' appears in large numerals at the centre of the field, with 'CENTESIMOS.' inscribed immediately below in a smaller legend, the whole enclosed within an open olive wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The motto 'LIBRE Y CONSTITUIDA' curves along the upper periphery, and the date of issue appears in the exergue below the wreath. A decorative dash-and-dot ornament separates the denomination from the wreath base. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Uruguay's silver coinage of this period was struck entirely at European mints — the Santiago (Chile), Paris, and Brussels facilities all produced pieces for this type at various points, each identifiable by their respective mint marks. The republic lacked domestic minting infrastructure until well into the twentieth century, making foreign contracts the only practical option for a young nation building a monetary system from scratch.
The multiple SA and CG catalog references reflect distinct emission years with differing mintages rather than design changes, a distinction that matters considerably for date collectors working this series.
