| Obverse description | The obverse presents portrait vignettes of Manuel Belgrano and María Remedios del Valle, the former derived from a portrait attributed to French artist François Casimir Carbonnier and the latter from the work La Capitana by Argentine artist Gisela Banzer. The denomination "DIEZ MIL PESOS" and the issuing authority "BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA" are inscribed in the surrounding lettering, with the numeral "10000" rendered in large format. Guilloche underprint patterns occupy the background field, contributing both aesthetic structure and anti-counterfeiting function. |

Argentina's inflation crisis forced the introduction of this 10,000-peso denomination in 2024 — a value that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier. The contract with China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation reflects a broader regional trend of Latin American central banks outsourcing to Chinese state printers, driven largely by cost and capacity constraints at domestic facilities like Casa de Moneda.
The cotton substrate at 90 g/m2 is relatively light for a high-denomination note, with security limited to a watermark — a thin specification given the inflationary pressure this denomination was created to address.
