| Reverse description | The large bold numeral '100' dominates the central field in a clean modernist typographic style. Below, the denomination PESOS and the date 1973 are inscribed in two horizontal lines. A decorative olive branch bearing berries extends from the lower right, sweeping upward along the right side of the field to frame the central device, imparting an elegant classical accent to the otherwise austere composition. |

Uruguay's 1973 pattern issues were struck in the shadow of a constitutional crisis that would culminate in June of that year, when President Juan María Bordaberry dissolved parliament and handed effective control to the military. Patterns produced during this window occupy an uncertain institutional moment — it is often unclear whether they were authorized under civilian or military authority. This piece never entered circulation.
