| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central oval vignette containing a bust portrait of a uniformed military figure in epaulettes, set against a fine engine-turned guilloche underprint. The heading reads 'Provincia DE BUENOS AYRES' in large ornate lettering across the top, with the denomination 'DOSCIENTOS PESOS' inscribed in bold letterpress below. Two allegorical side vignettes flank the central portrait — a pastoral scene with figures at lower left and a reclining female allegory at lower right — with numeral counters '200' repeated at both lower corners. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm brown monochrome and features an elaborate geometric lathe-work border of interlocking floral and scroll ornaments surrounding a large central medallion of radiating guilloche design. Within the medallion, a bold horizontal cartouche bears the word 'DOSCIENTOS' in prominent serif capitals, framed by pointed geometric panels and fine engine-turned hatching throughout. |
