URUGUAY. Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay. 5 Pesos, 18.7.1930. P-18. Commemorative. PMG Extremely Fine 40.This represents a very rare and quite unusual commemorative note from Uruguay. Issued to commemorate the centennial of the independence of Uruguay from Brazil, this series consisted of three notes that were designed and printed by the Banque de France. That institution had not produced notes for Uruguay before, making these notes not only quite different in appearance from normal Uruguayan issues but also very attractive. While the 1 Peso is acquired without much difficulty, the same can not be said for the other two denominations, which are rare. This evenly circulated 5 Pesos will no doubt prove to be a welcome addition to an advanced type collection. PMG Comments "Minor Rust."
