To the right, an oval vignette presents a façade of a classical government building identified as the Casa de la Independencia. At upper left, the provincial coat of arms of Tucumán is printed in olive, with 'SERIE F' inscribed below; the upper border carries the legend 'PROVINCIA DE TUCUMAN / BONOS DE CANCELACION DE DEUDAS', and the lower border reads 'VEINTE PESOS'. Two signature lines appear below the central vignette, attributed to the Ministro de Economía and the Gobernador, with the serial number and expiry date 'FECHA DE CADUCIDAD 31 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2003' printed at the base. |

Argentine provinces began issuing their own quasi-currencies — known as "cuasimonedas" — during and after the 2001–2002 financial collapse, when the federal government froze bank accounts and the peso became effectively inaccessible to ordinary commerce. Tucumán's emission was among the later provincial issues, with this 2003 dating placing it in the tail end of the crisis period as the national peso was beginning its slow rehabilitation under the Kirchner administration.
Provincial notes of this type were formally redeemed by the federal government from 2003 onward as part of a structured buyout program — survival in circulated condition is common, but many were submitted in bulk and destroyed during redemption processing.
