Plain typeset note with an ornate engraved border of geometric and floral guilloche patterns enclosing the central text. The denomination '100 $' appears in large type at upper left and upper right, with 'CONFEDERACION ARGENTINA' as the principal heading across the top. The body text, set in letterpress, reads a promise by El Gobierno Nacional to pay the bearer one hundred pesos with two percent monthly interest, redeemable at any Customs House of the Confederation, followed by three signature lines captioned 'EL MINISTRO DE HACIENDA', 'EL CONTADOR', and 'EL TESORERO'. The denomination 'CIEN PESOS' is repeated vertically in the left and right margins, and '100 PESOS.' appears in large type across the bottom. |

The reverse presents the mirror impression of the obverse printing visible through the thin paper, with no independent design elements, confirming this is a single-sided typeset issue. Extensive contemporary manuscript endorsements and annotations in ink are written across the face at various angles, including dated notations, which are characteristic of notes that circulated through official channels. The engraved border is faintly visible in reverse. |

The Confederación Argentina — the rival government to Buenos Aires that controlled the interior provinces from Paraná — issued this note under genuine fiscal duress. After the split of 1852, the Confederation struggled chronically to fund itself; Buenos Aires controlled the customs revenues at the port, leaving the interior government perpetually short. These Ministerio de Hacienda notes were effectively treasury obligations rather than bank currency, issued against a state that could barely collect taxes.
The PS prefix in the Pick catalogue signals provisional or state-level status — a classification that understates how central this paper was to Confederation finance in its final years before reunification in 1861.
