About this banknote
**About this banknote:**
The 10 pesos banknote was issued by El Banco Inglés del Río de la Plata in 1885. This series was introduced during a period of significant banking activity in Uruguay, with foreign banks playing a pivotal role in the region’s economic development. The banknote was printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., a prominent British security printing company.
The front side of the banknote features intricate designs with inscriptions including "DIEZ PESOS" and portraits on either side. The back showcases ornate patterns and the denomination "10" prominently. It is characterized by its black, blue, green, and brown coloration. The banknote's dimensions are 150 x 75 mm, and it was a part of the circulation in Montevideo during the late 19th century.
