| Reverse description | The large numeral 50 dominates the central field, rendered in bold double-outlined relief. Two olive or laurel sprigs flank the numeral, each rising from the lower field toward the upper periphery in a symmetrical arrangement. The denomination legend CENTESIMOS curves along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. The reverse field is otherwise plain within the characteristic twelve-sided flan. |

| Additional information |
Uruguay's 1976 military government commissioned a series of pattern strikes as part of a broader currency reform effort following years of inflation that had gutted the purchasing power of the peso. This 50 centésimos piece was never adopted for circulation — the denomination itself was economically obsolete almost before the dies were finished.
KM# Pn10 is sparsely documented, and confirmed surviving examples are few.
