| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white paper with a pale guilloche underprint. At left, a classical allegorical female figure is seated on a rocky plinth. The central area bears a large ornate guilloche rosette with a handwritten serial number in red, above a date line reading '1º Agosto de 1866.' To the right, a detailed vignette of a steam locomotive at a station platform with figures in attendance. The bold inscription 'EL BANCO ARGENTINO' appears in the central band, with the promise text 'Pagará á la vista y al portador VEINTE PESOS FUERTES en moneda de ley' below. Denomination panels marked 'XX' at lower left and '20' within a guilloche medallion at lower right, with 'VEINTE' repeated in the side borders and 'ROSARIO' at top centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in rose-pink, with an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design covering the full surface. Two large oval guilloche medallions at left and right each contain the numeral '20', while a central cartouche in ornate scrollwork bears the three-line inscription 'EL BANCO ARGENTINO ROSARIO'. A fine dotted border frames the entire note. |
