Uruguay 1896 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 10 Pesos Series A Photographic Proof Pair (Pick Unlisted)

The central denomination contains a visible lettering error: it reads DEIZ PESOS instead of the correct Spanish spelling DIEZ PESOS. This transposition of the letters I and E is preserved clearly in the photographic proof and forms one of the most important diagnostic features of this Bradbury, Wilkinson and Company Limited design. The erroneous DEIZ PESOS wording is integrated into a dense ornamental composition of leaves, scrollwork, guilloche structures, repeated value devices, and layered security patterns. A broad lower panel repeats the denomination, while ten-pesos tablets appear within the upper-left and right-side borders. Read more →
