| Obverse description | Black and red letterpress note with a horizontal rural vignette across the upper left, showing a cattle yard or estancia scene with figures and animals under a covered structure. The large bold inscription 'LA PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AYRES' arcs across the centre, with 'Reconoce este Billete por' in script beneath and 'QUINIENTOS PESOS' in bold capitals below that. A portrait vignette of a uniformed military figure occupies the lower right corner, flanked by ornate guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral '500' in red at left and right, with a red oval counter at upper right; the date 'moneda corriente 1 Enero de 1869' appears in manuscript script, with two handwritten signature lines at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in red-brown on plain paper, the reverse is dominated by a large central guilloche medallion of concentric lathe-work rosette patterns enclosing a floral centre, flanked symmetrically by two ornate guilloche panels each carrying the denomination numeral '500'. The curved inscription 'PROVINCIA DE' arcs above the central medallion and 'BUENOS AYRES' curves below, completing the issuer's name around the design. The overall composition is purely typographic and geometric, with no pictorial vignettes, relying entirely on intricate engine-turned lathe work for visual security. |
