| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large blue numeral vignette '5 Cts.' in the lower centre, with the issuer's name 'EL BANCO NACIONAL' in bold letterpress across the upper field. A central vignette presents the Argentine coat of arms within an ornate cartouche flanked by laurel branches. The note bears the place and date of issue 'Buenos Ayres, Agosto 1.º de 1873', denomination text 'CINCO CENTAVOS FUERTES', and repeated guilloche borders reading 'CENTAVOS 5 CENTAVOS' along all four margins. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single colour on plain paper and carries a large gothic-style denomination inscription '5 Cts.' rendered in bold intaglio lettering at centre, with light guilloche underprint visible across the field. The design is intentionally simple, relying on the typographic weight of the numeral to serve as the primary anti-counterfeiting element. |
