| Obverse description | Plain paper note with engraved text and vignette in brown ink. At upper left, a rectangular panel inscribed '5 Pesos' frames the denomination; to its right, the bank title 'EL BANCO DE Buenos Ayres' is rendered in ornate script. The Argentine coat of arms vignette appears at the centre-left, surrounded by a laurel wreath, above a promise-to-pay text in Spanish reading 'Promete pagar al portador y a la vista la cantidad de CINCO PESOS en moneda metálica, Buenos Ayres, [date] de 1826'. The lower portion carries two manuscript signatures over the printed legends 'el Contador' and 'Presidente', with an additional line 'Por los Directores y Accionistas'. |
