| Obverse description | The obverse displays the denomination numeral '10' in large, bold relief at the centre of the field, with the word 'CENTAVOS' inscribed below it. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA ARGENTINA' runs along the upper periphery, while the mint year, flanked by two raised dots, appears along the lower rim. The design is spare and typographic in character, with no figurative elements, relying entirely on lettering and numerals for its composition. |

| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA ARGENTINA 10 CENTAVOS .1955. |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a bare-headed, draped bust of General José de San Martín in left-facing profile, rendered in low relief with restrained modelling of the facial features, collar, and shoulders. The legend 'JOSE DE SAN MARTIN' curves along the periphery, with 'JOSE DE' ascending on the left and 'SAN MARTIN' descending on the right, framing the portrait. The field is otherwise unadorned, giving prominence to the effigy of Argentina's celebrated liberator. The engraving, attributed to Mario Baiardi, reflects the academic portrait style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Argentine coinage. |
