| Reverse description | Centrally positioned radiant sun with a human face in full relief, displaying alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from the circular central disc. The surrounding field bears the peripheral legend arranged in a circle, interrupted by small decorative elements such as arrows, stars, and floral ornaments, all within a plain border. The overall design follows the iconographic tradition of the Sol de Mayo, the Argentine national sun symbol. |

| Additional information |
Córdoba's provincial coinage of this period was issued under the authority of the local caudillo government, operating entirely outside the intermittent attempts at Buenos Aires to impose a unified Argentine monetary system. The 1840 date places this piece squarely within the extended civil conflict between Federalists and Unitarians, when provincial mints across the interior struck their own silver rather than accept fiscal subordination to the coast.
CJ#14.1 distinguishes this among known die marriages for the type — Cunietti-Ferrando's cataloguing of Córdoba provincial issues remains the primary reference for separating the varieties.
