| Reverse description | Square flan in lozenge orientation, depicting a historical scene in high relief showing a group of seated and standing figures gathered around a table, representing the assembly of delegates who signed the Declaration of Independence of Uruguay on 25 August 1825. The central figure stands prominently among the assembled delegates. A quoted inscription in the field reads 'de hecho y de derecho, libre e independiente' (in fact and by rights, free and independent), with the dates '25 de Agosto de 1825-2025' inscribed below, commemorating the bicentenary of the declaration. |

| Additional information |
Uruguay's independence is conventionally dated to August 25, 1825, when the Congress of Florida formally declared separation from Brazil — though full international recognition took another three years, with the 1828 Convention of Montevideo brokering the outcome largely at British commercial insistence. The 2025 bicentenary falls on that 200-year mark from the congressional declaration rather than from any single treaty date, a distinction the Banco Central has navigated carefully in its commemorative program.
