Description and research notes
Intermediate form of Banco Oriental’s Doblón series, dated 1 de Agosto de 1867 and printed by ABNC in 1871. Serial 35345 carries a single hand-written signature in the same style later engraved for the facsimile printings. Serves as the bridge between dual manual and mechanical authorization phases. Design and coloration match the earlier 1867 layout, confirming re-use of ABNC plates.
Cataloged Pick S171b (Transitional Hand Signature). Complements S385a (1867) and S171a (dual-hand) in documenting the transition from fully manual to engraved signatures within Uruguay’s Banco Oriental issues.
