| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '10' is prominently displayed in large raised figures at the center of the field, with the word PESOS inscribed below in capital letters and the date of issue beneath that. To the left of the denomination stands a single upright olive or laurel branch with detailed leafwork and small berries, serving as a decorative device. The entire design is contained within a beaded inner border that follows the dodecagonal shape of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Argentina's monetary situation in the early 1960s was deteriorating badly — inflation was running at over 20% annually by 1962, driven by chronic fiscal deficits and the peso's ongoing devaluation. The 10 Peso denomination, which had once represented meaningful purchasing power, was by the mid-1960s worth a fraction of its earlier value, making nickel clad steel a defensible choice over more expensive alloys. The switch away from aluminum bronze for this series reflected how quickly base metal costs could outpace a coin's face value in an unstable economy.
The CJ reference numbers spanning 281–287 indicate die or date varieties documented across the issue's run — collectors working this series closely track subtle differences in the mintmarks and field textures across those years.
