| Obverse description | Central device depicts the radiant Sun of May, rendered as a human face with stylized features, surrounded by alternating straight and wavy rays emanating to the coin's periphery. The solar effigy occupies the majority of the field, conveying both Enlightenment symbolism and nascent republican identity. The circumferential legend PROVINCIAS DEL RIO DE LA PLATA runs along the outer border in capital Latin letters, separated from the toothed rim by a narrow flat border. A small rosette ornament appears at the base of the design, below the solar rays. |
