| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in black intaglio on pale paper with a dense lathe-work border repeating the word "DOS" throughout the frame. At left, a portrait vignette of a uniformed military figure is set within an oval. At centre, the numeral "2" appears in an ornate guilloche rosette flanked by a matching rosette at right, with a finely engraved vignette of a spaniel's head between them. The diagonal arc inscription "BANCO DE LA PROVINCIA DE / BUENOS AIRES" dominates the upper field, with the date "1° Enero de 1871" above, the denomination "DOS PESOS FUERTES" in bold letterpress at centre-bottom, and the promise text "Pagará al portador y á la vista en moneda de oro de curso legal" in script below the central vignette. |

The Banco de la Província de Buenos Aires was, at this point, effectively the financial backbone of the Argentine interior — operating independently of the national government in a way no provincial bank could manage after the 1890 crisis reshaped the system. The American Bank Note Company produced the plates in New York, as it did for the great majority of South American issues in this period, and the quality of the intaglio work here reflects that company's dominance of the regional market through the 1870s.
The *peso fuerte* denomination is a specificity worth noting: it distinguished specie-backed or nominally hard-currency obligations from the inflationary *papel moneda* that had plagued Buenos Aires since the 1820s. By 1871, that distinction was already under pressure.
