| Obverse description | The obverse bears the bold italic heading 'Letra de Tesoreria' across the upper portion, with 'PROVINCIA de MENDOZA' inscribed along the top border. A central oval vignette displays the Argentine coat of arms, flanked by large numeral '1' counters at left and right set within intricate guilloche rosettes. The text 'LA PROVINCIA DE MENDOZA RECONOCE AL PORTADOR' appears in two columns flanking the coat of arms, with the denomination 'UN PESO' printed in a starred banner below, followed by the legend 'MONEDA NACIONAL EN LAS CONDICIONES DE LA LEY' and the date 'MENDOZA, Junio de 1901'. Two manuscript signatures appear at the bottom, identified as Ministro de Hacienda and Presidente del Crédito Público, with a red serial number printed at upper right and again at center. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a blue-grey tone and carries the denomination 'UN PESO' in bold lettering at the top and bottom borders, framed by a continuous meander ornamental border. At the left centre, a vignette of a tower or column rises within a decorative frame, while at the right a classical female head in profile — rendered in fine intaglio style — wears a laurel wreath. A central text block reproduces the legal authorization, referencing Ley N° 216 de 22 de Junio de 1864, Article 6, stipulating the acceptance of the Letras de Tesorería as legal tender. The printer's imprint is repeated in small type at the lower margin. |
