| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark blue and black intaglio on cream paper, with a central vignette of a seated shepherdess attended by sheep, framed within an ornate oval guilloche border. The bank title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL' arches across the top, with the denomination numeral '10' repeated at upper left and right; at lower left a vignette of the Argentine national coat of arms appears, while at lower right a portrait bust of a military figure in uniform is inset within a circular frame. The place and date of issue, 'Buenos Ayres, Agosto 1º de 1873', appear in the middle field alongside the handwritten promise-to-pay text and two manuscript signatures below. |
