| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Uruguay at centre, depicting a quartered oval shield bearing a radiant sun in the upper left, a set of scales in the upper right, a fortress in the lower left, and an ox in the lower right. The shield is surmounted by a rising sun with radiating rays and flanked by laurel and olive branches tied at the base, with crossed cannons and a banner visible below. The circumferential legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY runs along the periphery, separated by a small five-pointed star at the lower centre. The border is formed by a fine beaded rim. |

The arc legend LIBRE Y CONSTITUIDA curves along the upper periphery, while the date 1870 appears at the lower exergue beneath the wreath.
