Uruguay Livestock Token Identification

The obverse shows “1”

Any other lettering on it?

Yes, but it’s consistent with the other trade tokens. The unique part is the engraving which I can’t pinpoint or find any other examples.

I asked because I have a reference with some information but very few photos.

If you could share that would be excellent

Because it has very few photos and your photo is not clear about what lettering is there, I need more information from you about what it has written on it.

Sorry, I didn’t realise it was heavily compressed

N#338478

I believe this is a blank version of mine as the text and other patterns are consistent. There’s also catalogued designs with an engraving but none with the engraving like this one

According to Rulau this was a cattle breeding enterprise. Comes in many varieties and compositions but mostly aluminum. Also available with several different counterstamps. LI, O, XX and ornate Y, VA, YP, 3, U H. Ballon brand marks PJU, A G, JV. 5mm semicircle, EO monogram, L and triangle in a circle. It is believed each mark was for a different estancia, utilizing the brand mark or owner's initials. Reeded edge 23mm diameter. Larger denominations are a larger diameter. Minted by Tammaro of Montevideo.

Hope this helps.

Great help, thanks very much
