Newp #1 Uruguay FAO Proof #2 Added

Mintage on these is 250.(Krause says 350 but Krause incorrectly reports mintage for several pieces in this series.)
I came across 4 in 1 week. 1 was whizzed badly the other may have been ruined by a chemical. The other 2 I bought image Here's #1

And now #2:

Nice Plum purple toning on this one makes the fields darker and the cameo contrast better even though this one might grade a bit lower than the other one.

    These pics are both the same coin. I think I am going to send them in, just not sure whether NGC or PCGS yet. I think the pronged NGC slab might be a better choice as the coin has edge lettering.

    Isn't the FAO something to do with food? If so, why is there what appears to be a lizard on coin? (lol)

    Yes a modern(at the time) take on the classic sun of may design seen as in the coin in your av and the country's flag.
