Uruguay 1862 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 100 Pesos Remainder (Pick S245r)

Every detail of the engraving is intact, from the fine guilloché to the portraits of Mercury and Agriculture that framed Uruguay’s economic vision. These were not symbolic choices but direct references to the nation’s trade and export economy, which the bank helped finance. By the late 19th century, the institution was absorbed into Lloyds Bank, but these early remainders preserved the look and ambition of its founding years.

Uruguay 1883 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 10 Pesos Specimen (Pick S242s)

This specimen also connects with the earlier Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 10 Pesos face proof preserved in this collection. Together, the two pieces document separate periods and production states within the bank's 10 Pesos history. The 1871 face proof preserves an earlier plate-approval artifact, while the 1883 Pick S242s specimen records a later completed two-sided specimen format with multicolor printing, retained counterfoil, reverse design, two-number production-control structure, and perforated SPECIMEN BW & Co LONDON cancellation.
