| Obverse description | Printed in light blue-green on white paper, the obverse carries the heading PROVINCIA DE CORDOBA / REPUBLICA ARGENTINA at top. To the right, a vignette of a classical colonnaded building facade — likely the historic Cabildo of Córdoba — serves as the principal design element. At left, two facsimile signatures of provincial officials appear above the provincial coat of arms, with the serial number G 0086555 printed twice in dark ink; the large numeral 5 guilloche underprint appears at lower left and center-right, and the text CINCO / PESOS VALOR NOMINAL is inscribed below the central field. |

| Comments |
Argentina's provinces began issuing their own quasi-currencies — known as patacones or cuasimonedas — as the national economic crisis deepened in 2001, with the federal government effectively unable to meet payroll obligations. Córdoba's provincial bonds circulated as de facto currency, accepted at face value by many local businesses and used to pay provincial employees and suppliers when peso liquidity dried up entirely.
The PS#0 reference indicates this note has not yet been formally catalogued in the Pick Specialized series — attribution details for the full Córdoba cuasimoneda family remain incomplete across major references.
