| Obverse description | Central device features the Sol de Mayo — a radiant sun with a human face rendered in high relief — occupying the majority of the field, with alternating straight and wavy rays emanating outward. The circular legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY runs along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border. The date 1869 appears in the exergue, separated by two small five-pointed stars, completing the design in a bold neoclassical style engraved by Ernest Paulin Tasset. |
