Uruguay 1939 (1967 Authorization) - Banco Central del Uruguay 50 Pesos Serie D Specimen, Specimen No. 2 (Pick 42As)

Red specimen markings continue across the reverse, forming a complete two-sided control format. Their application confirms that the entire finished note, rather than a single-face proof or partial production trial, was prepared as institutional reference material. The preserved relationship between the Indigenous portrait, Artigas watermark, historical reverse, and later central bank authorization makes the note an especially clear record of continuity across two phases of Uruguay's monetary administration.

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen Pick 40as with perforated cancellation

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Perforated Cancel, Serie A (Pick 40as)

This Serie A five hundred pesos specimen of the Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay preserves a distinctive perforation-cancel format from the 1939 issue. Rather than relying on red ink overprints, numbered specimen inscriptions, or printer control stamps, the note was permanently invalidated by a diagonal perforated CANCELLED inscription cut directly through the paper. The result is a reference note whose monetary status was removed mechanically while its printed design remained almost completely unobstructed. Read more →

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Printed Cancel, Serie A, Specimen No. 29 (Pick 40as)

The printed number at the lower margin is central to the note's documentary character.

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen, Pick 40bs, Serie C, diagonal red SPECIMEN overprint with two red De La Rue CANCELLED oval stamps on obverse and reverse, Specimen No. 10

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen Printed Cancel Serie C Specimen No. 10 (Pick 40bs)

The obverse cancellation system is intentionally emphatic. A diagonal red SPECIMEN overprint cuts across the center, while two oval SPECIMEN DE LA RUE CANCELLED stamps reinforce the printer's control over the piece. These markings do more than invalidate the note. They establish a visible chain of institutional authority, leaving no uncertainty about its reference status while preserving the underlying engraving for technical inspection. Read more →
