This coin is dated 1969 and was issued by the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, denominated One Thousand Pesos and struck in silver as a commemorative issue associated with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Obverse:
The obverse presents a dense, circular arrangement of stylized pictographic symbols representing agriculture, livestock, fishing, tools, water, and related elements, organized around a small central emblem. The legend FAO appears at the top of the outer ring. Along the lower perimeter, the inscriptions PATRIA and PAN are separated by the date 1969. The entire design is enclosed by a raised rim.
Reverse:
The reverse features a radiating sun motif composed of elongated triangular rays emanating from a central disk bearing a stylized human face. The surrounding legend reads URUGUAY across the upper arc and MIL PESOS along the lower arc. No mint mark is visible on the reverse.
