The central text panel states DIEZ Y SEIS CENTAVOS FUERTES, with an additional legend noting equivalence to one Chirola and reference to the Ley Nacional. A small portrait vignette appears at lower left, with a second vignette at lower right. The date 'Buenos Aires, 1 de Marzo de 1880' is printed in the lower portion, with two manuscript signatures below identified as El Gerente and El Presidente. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm brownish-orange tone and covered with an intricate network of multiple circular guilloche rosettes of varying sizes arranged in a repeating geometric pattern across the entire field, with additional smaller ornamental counters interspersed throughout. A fine lathe-work border frames the design. The overall effect is a dense, security-oriented geometric underprint with no central vignette. |
