Uruguay marks two centuries of its justice administration with a $37 stamp
Philately NewsCorreo Uruguayo issued a 37-peso commemorative stamp on 19 October 2026 for the bicentenary of the administration of justice. The design shows a blindfolded figure holding scales and a book, with the years 1826 and 2026 beneath the anniversary inscription.
The postal operator identifies the issue as 2026-44-C. Eduardo Salgado, credited as E.S.C., created the graphic design. Sanfer SRL printed 5,000 stamps in sheets of 25. The official listing describes the stamp as perforated.
The stamp was presented at the Supreme Court of Justice in Montevideo on 19 October. After the speeches, Correo Uruguayo vice-president José Luis Pereira introduced it and President Yamandú Orsi performed the ceremonial cancellation. Supreme Court president Doris Morales also attended the commemoration.
The anniversary recalls the law of 6 October 1826, which abolished the cabildos and established a new structure of courts and judges. It also provided for a lawyer to defend poor people and minors, an antecedent of the present public-defence service. Resolution 40/2026 designated 2026 as the bicentennial year.
