URUGUAY: 1 peso token, ND, Rulau-STO22, DOCTOR IURKOWSKI - SALTO around IS monogram at center // ESTABLECIMIENTO BALNEO-TERÁPICO around large numeral "1" at center, struck in aluminum circa 1895-1900, a superb prooflike mint state example! PCGS graded MS65, ex Dr. Axel Wahlstedt Collection. This example was part of an old collection from Sweden of likely specimen strikes or sample coins due to the high quality of the strike and condition of the token. Likely struck in Germany by a currently unknown private mint.The mint made an error when writing IURKOWSKI with the initial letter I instead of the J. It is very likely that this error was made due the phonetics of this Polish surname, since JURKOWSKI is pronounced YURKOWSKI. The error is continued to the monogram, which instead of carrying the letters JS (J for Jurkowski and S for Salto) was armed with the letters IS.
