| Obverse description | Printed in reddish-brown tones, the obverse carries 'REPUBLICA ARGENTINA' and 'SERIE 003' at the upper centre above an intaglio oval portrait vignette of a uniformed military figure at left, with the denomination 'UN PESO' in bold letterpress beneath it. The central panel bears the issuer's name 'EL BANCO PROVINCIAL DE SANTA FÉ' above the payment promise text 'pagará á la vista y al portador UN PESO en moneda Nacional', the date 'Buenos Aires, 1 de Enero de 1888', and two manuscript signatures; at right, an allegorical vignette of putti amid grapevines and fruit completes the composition. A guarantee inscription noting the deposit of public funds per the Law of 3 November 1887 runs along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in red-brown, its composition divided into three panels by ornate guilloche borders with the numeral '1' at each outer corner and 'UNO' at the lower corners. The large central vignette renders two allegorical female figures in fine intaglio — one seated at an easel painting, the other holding a palette — while acanthus scroll vignettes occupy the flanking side panels. A lengthy anti-counterfeiting legal warning is set in small letterpress across the lower margin. |
