One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor. Current currency in the inherited endpoint register. Dated observations: 1829–1993; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Evidence within this identity, not separate currencies.

Earlier unit continuity
The 1862 law established the national peso from 1 January 1863 and altered its account subdivision; it does not by itself prove a distinct predecessor under the no-rescaling rule.
Official issuer history identifies adoption of peso corriente accounting in 1830; newspaper-based research identifies a fixed eight-real unit from 1831. The regional association with the continuing Uruguayan peso remains qualified.
Public-payment rules in 1829 use peso-denominated tax thresholds before national coin issues. Connecting this local observation to the later Uruguayan peso is qualified.
Articles 35–38 of the 1831 law regulate existing Brazilian-copper obligations and deposits through local notes and their prescribed conversion. This is evidence about obligations, beyond circulation or metal standards.
The 1839 law authorized copper fractions of the existing current silver real and limited mandatory acceptance. The issue is profile evidence, not a new currency identity.

The Uruguayan peso corriente developed as a regional branch of inherited Spanish-American peso accounting amid Portuguese, Brazilian and local monetary changes. Official history identifies inherited reckoning and original research documents an independent eight-real account unit. Intervening regional stages remain qualified.

Inference C1211
The 1831 reform converted obligations and deposits payable in Brazilian copper into the local Uruguayan monetary system. Attribution to the Brazilian real is a qualified contributing account-conversion input, not an exclusive founding parent or a claim that circulated coins alone create ancestry.
