| Obverse description | Central device featuring the radiant Sol de Mayo, depicted as a human face with stylized alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from a raised circular disc. The sun effigy occupies the majority of the field, rendered in high relief with clearly defined facial features. The circumferential legend PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA is arranged around the periphery in Latin capitals, separated by a small six-pointed star at the base. The coin's edge is framed by a reeded border. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the early arms of the Provincias del Río de la Plata within an oval cartouche: two clasped hands in the lower half symbolizing union, surmounted by a pike bearing a Phrygian liberty cap, all enclosed within an oval frame. The arms are flanked by two symmetrical laurel branches tied at the base, forming a wreath. The circumferential legend EN UNION Y LIBERTAD is inscribed in the upper arc, with the mint mark PTS, assayers' initials F and L, and the date 1815 arranged in the lower arc, all separated by ornamental stops. |
