| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination numeral '20' prominently displayed in large, bold figures at the center of the field, with the word 'CENTAVOS' inscribed below in a straight legend. The circular peripheral legend 'REPUBLICA ARGENTINA' runs along the upper rim from left to right. The date appears at the bottom of the field, flanked on either side by a raised dot serving as a decorative stop. The overall design is typographic in character, with no figurative motif, emphasizing clarity and legibility in the Peronist-era coinage style. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a right-facing bareheaded bust of José de San Martín, the celebrated Argentine general and liberator, rendered in moderate relief with fine detail in the facial features, including a prominent moustache and period cravat at the neck. The effigy occupies the central field and extends toward the lower portion of the coin. The legend 'JOSE DE SAN MARTIN' curves along the left and upper-right periphery, flanking the portrait. The design is engraved in a restrained, realistic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Argentine coinage, attributed to engraver Mario Baiardi. |
