Uruguay's postal authorities issued these small-denomination scrips in 1868 to relieve a chronic shortage of fractional coin — a problem that plagued much of Latin America through the 1860s as silver coinage was hoarded, exported, or simply unavailable in sufficient quantity. The postal service's involvement was practical rather than extraordinary: existing distribution infrastructure made the post office a logical emergency issuer when the treasury lacked the means to respond quickly.
Survival rates are low. These circulated hard among a population with few alternatives for small change, and the paper took punishment accordingly.
