| Obverse lettering | PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA 1820 (or 1821) |
| Reverse description | Central cross of Spanish colonial type divides the field into four quadrants, each alternately bearing a castle (representing Castile) and a lion rampant (representing León), following the traditional Hispanic heraldic arrangement inherited from colonial coinage. The design is struck in the macuquina (cob) tradition on an irregularly shaped planchet, with the legend EN UNION Y LIBERTAD partially visible around the periphery. The overall execution reflects the crude hammered technique employed by the Tucumán provincial mint. |
