| Obverse description | Within an open laurel wreath tied at the base, the field bears the date 1822 prominently in large numerals at centre, flanked by the curved legend BUENOS AYRES above and the denomination UN DECIMO below, all rendered in bold raised lettering. The wreath sprays rise from each side and meet at the top, framing the inscriptions in a clean, uncluttered composition typical of early Argentine provincial coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The Buenos Aires provincial arms occupy the centre of the field, depicted as an oval cartouche enclosing a Phrygian liberty cap mounted on a pike held by two clasped hands, set against a horizontally lined background. Above the oval shield, a radiant sun with alternating straight and wavy rays and a human face rises in glory. The entire armorial composition is enclosed within an open laurel wreath tied at the base, with a beaded border surrounding the design. |
