| Obverse description | Central device features the Argentine national coat of arms — an oval shield displaying a hand-in-hand motif beneath a Phrygian cap on a pike, surmounted by a radiant sun in glory. The shield is flanked on either side by laurel and olive branches tied at the base, with the denomination '4 R' appearing in the field to the left and right of the arms. The date, fineness indicator, and mint initial appear in the lower exergual area. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'REPUB • ARGENT • CONFED' in raised Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicts two mountains rising above a coastal or river scene, rendered in a rugged, engraved style characteristic of provincial Argentine coinage. A banner or scroll inscribed 'C. del G. R.' arches above the mountain vignette. Crossed sword and palm branch appear in saltire below the central device, accompanied by decorative elements in the field. The surrounding legend, reading 'ETERNO LOOR AL RESTAURAD • ROSAS', pays homage to Juan Manuel de Rosas as Restorer of the Laws, rendered in raised Latin letters around the full periphery of the coin. |
