| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Jose Gervasio Artigas, national hero and father of Uruguayan independence, facing slightly left and centered in the field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and civilian dress. The peripheral legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY curves along the upper rim, while the name ARTIGAS appears in large incuse letters along the lower rim. The engraver's signature ORELLANA is visible at the lower right of the bust truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Uruguay's early 1970s coinage program was complicated by chronic inflation that rendered denominations obsolete almost as fast as they could be authorized. This 100 Pesos piece was struck as a pattern — meaning it never reached circulation — likely evaluated as part of an effort to rationalize the currency before the 1975 redenomination that replaced 1,000 old pesos with a single new peso.
The unusual ternary alloy — copper, zinc, and nickel in proportions that deviate from standard nickel silver — suggests the mint was testing cost-effective alternatives to more expensive cupronickel compositions under fiscal pressure.
