| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is executed in a delicate multicolour guilloche scheme of blue, rose, and olive tones. Three large oval medallions, each containing an intaglio portrait bust of a classical female figure in profile, are arranged across the centre, flanked by two smaller matching medallions at the outer corners. The numeral 20 appears at the centre between the principal medallions, and an intricate lace-like guilloche pattern radiates from the upper central ornament. A SPECIMEN overprint by the printer is applied diagonally across the lower centre. |

Banco de Cuyo operated out of Mendoza, one of several provincial banks that briefly held note-issuing authority in Argentina during the mid-nineteenth century before federal consolidation stripped that right away. The London printing connection was entirely typical for Argentine provincial banks of this period — Bradbury, Wilkinson had a substantial South American client base precisely because domestic printing infrastructure could not yet match the security features demanded of fiduciary currency.
The "Fuertes" designation was not decorative. It specifically distinguished hard-currency-backed notes from the inflated paper monies already circulating elsewhere in the region.
