Comments

Monety o nominałach 1, 2 i 4 centów z datą Urugwaj 1869, ze znakiem mennicy A, zostały wybite w mennicy paryskiej w 1869 roku.
Później, monety o nominałach 1, 2 i 4 centy urugwajskie z 1869 r., ze znakiem mennicy H i paragwajskie z 1870 r. (o tych samych nominałach, materiale i wymiarach) zostały wybite w 1870 r., przy czym Urugwaj użył na monetach roku powstania (takiego samego jak w poprzedniej emisji), a Paragwaj roku bicia.
W przypadku drugiego zamówienia, dla obu krajów, wykonawcą była firma Shaw Hnos. & Co. (bracia Shaw) z siedzibą w Montevideo.

Katalog "The Mint, Birmingham, Limited, formerly Ralph Heaton & Sons" pokazuje monety wybite dla około 39 krajów. Na stronie 42 znajduje się kopia listu otrzymanego od Shawa (podpisanego jako "Chas. J. Shaw= Charles J. Shaw) w sprawie monet. List ten potwierdza, że monety "H" z Urugwaju z 1869 r. zostały wybite przez Heatona, a także wyjaśnia, dlaczego monety urugwajskie i paragwajskie wyglądają tak podobnie, a także, że "SHAW" widniejący na monetach paragwajskich nie jest grawerem, jak niektórzy sądzą, ale wykonawcą mennicy.
Niektórzy autorzy uważali te monety za wybite w La Rochelle we Francji, które również używało litery "H" jako znaku mennicy, i jest to wspomniane na Heritage Auctions na ich liście aukcji # 3042 z 15 września 2015 r.; być może dlatego, że poprzednia partia została wybita w Paryżu.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Coins with face values 1, 2 and 4 cents, dated Uruguay 1869, with mintmark letter A were minted at Paris Mint on 1869.
Later, 1, 2 and 4 cents Uruguayan coins dated 1869, with mint letter H and Paraguay dated 1870 (with same face values, material and dimensions) were minted on 1870, Uruguay used the creation law year on the coins (same as the previous issue), and Paraguay the minting year.
On the second order, for both countries, the contractor was the company Shaw Hnos. & Co. (Shaw brothers), placed at Montevideo.

The catalog “The Mint, Birmingham, Limited, formerly Ralph Heaton & Sons” shows the coins minted for about 39 countries. On page 42, it shows copy of the letter received from Shaw (signed as “Chas. J. Shaw= Charles J. Shaw), about the coins. This letter confirms the “H” 1869 coins of Uruguay were minted by Heaton, and also explains why Uruguayan and Paraguayan coins look so similar, and also that “SHAW” showing on Paraguayan coins is not the engraver, as some people thinks, but the contractor of the mintage.
Some authors considered these coins as minted at La Rochelle, France, that also used the “H” letter as mintmark, and it is mentioned at Heritage Auctions on their list for September 15th., 2015 auction# 3042; maybe cause the previous lot was minted at Paris.
