| Obverse description | The upper left field carries a large intaglio vignette of wild horses in full gallop, rendered with fine cross-hatched engraving characteristic of the American Bank Note Company's style, while an oval portrait vignette of a male figure in early 19th-century dress occupies the right margin within engine-turned guilloche framing. The bank title "EL BANCO DE LA PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRES" and denomination "CUATRO PESOS FUERTES" are set in bold letterpress across the central register, accompanied by obligation text and signature lines for Inspector and Presidente. Denomination numerals "4" appear in ornate cartouches at the lower corners, with a repeating CUATRO border underprint running along the top and bottom margins. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue ink, its entire field occupied by elaborate engine-turned guilloche work composed of intricate rosette and lathe-work patterns. A central cartouche bears the inscription "FUERTES / CUATRO PESOS / FUERTES" in bold serif lettering, flanked symmetrically by large numeral "4" cartouches set within detailed ornamental frames. The printer's imprint in Spanish runs along the lower margin within the decorative border. |
