Obverse description Plain paper note with a simple typeset layout typical of early 19th-century South American issues. At centre-top, the arms of the Província Oriental are printed within a circular vignette, flanked by the bank name in letterpress along the upper border. The denomination "UN PESO" appears in bold type at upper left, with a handwritten serial number to the right, and the promise-to-pay text in cursive script occupies the central field, followed by a manuscript signature over the printed legend "Por los Directores y Comp." The note is framed by a decorative typographic border, with "CAJA DE P.O." printed at lower left.
