Obverse description	Printed in red on a cream ground, the obverse carries an intaglio portrait of General José de San Martín in military uniform within an oval vignette at right, set against a fine guilloche underprint. A large watermark oval occupies the left field, flanked by ornate lathe-work borders. The bank title is rendered in elaborate script across the upper register, with the denomination "DIEZ PESOS" in bold gothic lettering at centre and the numeral "10" within a wreath medallion below.

Reverse description	Printed entirely in red, the reverse is dominated by a large engraved vignette of the Cabildo Abierto of 22 May 1810, rendered in fine intaglio lines and showing a crowded interior hall scene with figures gathered before a dais beneath a crucifix — evoking the assembly that preceded Argentine independence. An ornate scrollwork cartouche at right frames the numeral "10", while a repeating guilloche border frames the full composition.
