| Additional information |
Uruguay's 2011 independence commemorative program marked the bicentennial of the 1811 revolution against Spanish colonial rule, with José Artigas's campaign beginning that year at the Battle of Las Piedras. Trial strikes in bronze were produced during the die-approval process before final composition was confirmed — these pieces were never intended for release and exist outside the normal mintage figures entirely.
