| Obverse description | The note is dominated by elaborate calligraphic script throughout, with the denomination 'UN PESO' set within a dark rectangular panel at the upper left. The central vignette displays the Argentine coat of arms — a rising sun above an oval cartouche with a liberty cap — flanked by ornate flourishes. The promise-to-pay text, rendered in fine copperplate engraving, reads in Spanish across the body of the note, with the issuing authority 'El Banco de Buenos Ayres' inscribed in large decorative lettering beneath the arms. |
