| Obverse description | Printed in black intaglio on white paper with a fine lathe-work border, the obverse bears the bank title 'EL BANCO DE LA PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRES' arching across the top, above the denomination 'UN PESO FUERTE' in manuscript-style lettering at centre. Two allegorical vignettes flank the central field — a male figure with agricultural implements at lower left and a female figure at lower right — with the promise text and date '1 de Enero de 1871' inscribed below. A circular red official stamp is applied over the face of the note, with the imprint 'Compañía Americana de Billetes de Banco Nueva York' at the lower margin. |
