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)

The composition is not incidental decoration. It links the denomination to Uruguay's productive economy and gives the note a narrative dimension beyond the institutional language of the face. Fine engraved framing and large denomination panels preserve visual continuity between the two sides. Read more →
