| Obverse description | The obverse carries a vignette at left of a young child in portrait, set within an oval frame. The bank title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL' appears in large bold lettering across the upper portion, with the denomination 'CATORCE CENTAVOS FUERTES' in prominent text below, followed by a subsidiary line reading '(o una Chirola de igual valor)' and a reference to the national currency law. The serial number appears in a central box, flanked by the numeral '0.14' at lower left, with the place and date 'BUENOS AIRES, 1ro de Marzo de 1880' and two manuscript signatures at lower right, one for El Inspector and one for El Presidente. An Argentine national arms vignette appears at upper right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and displays the inscriptions 'EL BANCO' and 'NACIONAL' in a banner arrangement at top and bottom respectively. The central field is filled with a close array of circular medallions each bearing the Argentine national coat of arms, creating a dense guilloche-like security underprint. The numeral '0.14' appears in large figures at both left and right within ornate lathe-work cartouches. The printer's imprint 'Guillermo Kraft' and 'Recomp. 92 B.A.' are visible at the top margin. |
