| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark blue-black on white paper with ornate guilloche borders and the denomination VEINTE repeated vertically along both lateral margins. To the left, a classical allegorical female figure is seated in a vignette within an oval frame; to the right, a detailed intaglio vignette of a steam locomotive at a station with figures and mountains in the background. A red oval serial number overprint appears in the upper centre, flanked by medallion numerals '20' at the corners. The central text reads 'EL BANCO ARGENTINO' in bold letterpress, with the handwritten date 'Rosario, 5 de Julio de 1873' above the promise to pay 'VEINTE PESOS plata boliviana' and its equivalent in legal currency. |
