Printed in blue and red on a light background with a fine guilloche underprint, the obverse bears the issuer's title 'PROVINCIA DE MENDOZA' in bold letterpress at upper centre, beneath which the legend 'LETRAS DE TESORERIA GARANTIZADAS CON REGALIAS PETROLIFERAS PETROM' is inscribed. The central intaglio vignette presents an oil derrick, with the large denomination numeral '20' at left and the provincial coat of arms at lower right. Facsimile signatures of the Contador General and the Tesorero General de la Provincia appear at lower left and lower right respectively, with the series designation 'SERIE A' also present. |

The reverse is typeset entirely in black on uncoated white paper, with no pictorial vignette. The header repeats 'PROVINCIA DE MENDOZA' and 'LETRAS DE TESORERIA PETROM' above the citation 'LEY 6982', followed by the full legislative text in three numbered articles authorising the Province to issue the PETROM treasury bills up to a maximum of 150,000,000 pesos, secured against petroleum royalty revenues, with maturity set at 30 March 2007 and redemption at 135% of face value. The layout is entirely typographic, reflecting the instrument's quasi-fiscal character. |

Mendoza's provincial currency program was revived in 2002 during Argentina's catastrophic peso crisis, when the federal government's corralito banking freeze left provinces unable to meet payroll. These quasi-currencies — known collectively as "cuasimonedas" — were issued by at least fourteen provinces simultaneously, functioning as parallel legal tender within their respective territories. Mendoza's were called Petros, pegged nominally to the national peso.
By 2004 the federal government had committed to redeeming all provincial paper at par, and most series were withdrawn fairly quickly. A 2007 date on a Mendoza provincial issue is late enough to warrant scrutiny — whether this represents a reprint, a dated replacement stock, or a collector issue deserves verification against Casa de Moneda production records.
