| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white paper, centred by a large intaglio vignette of a gaucho on horseback herding cattle across open pampas. The denomination numeral '20' appears in each upper corner, with the issuer's title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL' in bold lettering across the top. Below the vignette, the text 'VEINTE CENTAVOS FUERTES' is set in large serif type, accompanied by the promise-to-pay legend, the place and date 'BUENOS AYRES, Agosto 1° de 1873', the Argentine national arms, and two manuscript signatures; the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' runs along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and carries a symmetrical arrangement of sixteen circular medallions, each containing the heraldic shield of one of the Argentine provinces, with the province name inscribed beneath each medallion. The word 'CENTAVOS' appears in large bold letters within a central rectangular frame, flanked on all sides by the provincial arms in a grid-like layout. The denomination numeral '20' is repeated in each corner, and a fine guilloche border frames the entire design; the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' appears along the lower margin. |
