Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen, Pick 40as, Serie A, printed SPECIMEN overprint with De La Rue CANCELLED stamp and Specimen No. 29

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

A broad diagonal red SPECIMEN overprint crosses the principal design field, immediately establishing the note's reference status. The oval SPECIMEN DE LA RUE CANCELLED control stamp adds a second level of authority, identifying the cancellation as part of the printer's formal handling system. Unlike a purely decorative overprint, the combined markings communicate both function and custody: the note was intentionally prepared, recorded, and invalidated under controlled conditions.

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 100 Pesos Specimen Printed Cancel Serie A Specimen No. 13 (Pick 39as)

The one hundred pesos denomination occupied an important position within Uruguay's monetary structure. It was substantial enough for treasury transfers, institutional accounting, and major commercial payments, while remaining more practical than the five hundred and one thousand pesos values. A completed specimen of this denomination therefore documented a design expected to function across both official and high-level commercial environments. Read more →
