| Obverse description | Central device features the radiant Sun of May (Sol de Mayo), depicted as a human face with stylized alternating straight and wavy rays emanating from a circular disc, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The sun's facial features are rendered in low relief in a naive, provincial style characteristic of early Argentine provincial coinage. The circumferential legend PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA arcs around the periphery in bold Latin capitals, separated at the base by a small floral ornament. The coin is bordered by a closely spaced reeded rim. |
