| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a bull's head facing forward, flanked by two lateral vignettes — a seated gaucho figure at left and a standing rural laborer at right. The bank title BANCO COMERCIAL DE SANTA FÉ runs across the top in bold letterpress, with numeral 20 counters in oval guilloche frames at each corner. Red overprint lettering reads VEINTE PESOS in large script across the center, with manuscript text referencing plata boliviana equivalence and the issue date 2 de Enero 1869 at Rosario visible below the central vignette. |

A central rectangular panel bears the text EL BANCO COMERCIAL DE SANTA FÉ in three lines, flanked on either side by oval counters containing the numeral 20, all surrounded by repeating rosette and scalloped border elements. |
