| Reverse description | Central device displays the early Argentine coat of arms: two clasped hands in the lower field symbolizing unity, surmounted by a pike topped with a Phrygian liberty cap, all enclosed within an oval cartouche framed by a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The peripheral legend EN UNION Y LIBERTAD arcs across the upper field, with the date 1815 appearing in the lower exergue flanked by dots and the assayer's initial F and mint mark TS (Potosí). The composition reflects the republican ideals of the newly formed United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. |
