| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black with a blue guilloche underprint, with the bank name EL BANCO OXANDABURU Y GARBINO in bold letterpress across the upper portion. A central vignette presents a horse's head in three-quarter view, flanked on the left by an oval portrait vignette of a young girl and on the right by a smaller vignette of an anchor. The denomination UN PESO FUERTE is stated in two locations, with the text PAGARA EN VISTA AL PORTADOR across the note body, and a manuscript date and place of issue inscribed in the lower central area. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially unprinted, showing a faint mirror impression of the obverse design through the thin cotton paper, with the bank name OXANDABURU Y GARBINO legible in reverse at the top. The surface is otherwise plain, consistent with the single-sided printing practice typical of early Latin American provincial bank issues of this period. |
