This type was struck in 1994 and 1998. Uruguayan coinage was sporadic in the twentieth century and many issues are rare; this one is common. Uruguay fell victim to the same hyperinflation which befell her neighbors Argentina and Brazil and the coinage was reformed twice. The example shown was minted after the coinage reform of 1993. It was accompanied by 10¢, 20¢, 50¢ and two pesos.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 3.52 g, brass, 20 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 103.2.
