| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio landscape view of the Iguazu Falls framed by tropical foreground vegetation, with the caption "CATARATAS DEL IGUAZU" inscribed within the scene. The Argentine national coat of arms appears at the left, set against a multicolour guilloche border in teal, gold and blue tones, while denomination numerals "10" in contrasting lathe-work cartouches anchor the upper right and lower left corners. The printer's imprint "CASA DE MONEDA" is lettered discreetly at the bottom centre beneath the denomination legend "DIEZ PESOS ARGENTINOS". |

| Comments |
The "pesos argentinos" denomination was a short-lived currency unit introduced in June 1983 as Argentina attempted to stabilize an economy shredded by hyperinflation — one peso argentino replaced 10,000 pesos ley 18.188. It lasted barely three years before the austral replaced it in 1985 at another ruinous conversion rate, making the entire peso argentino series a brief, failed chapter in a long monetary crisis rather than any real reform.
Casa de Moneda's output during this period was under severe pressure, printing notes faster than the economy could absorb them. The P#313 series consequently turns up frequently in circulated grades.
