| Obverse description | Facing portrait of a puma (mountain lion) occupying the right half of the pentagonal field, rendered in fine relief with detailed fur texture. To the left, the coat of arms of La Rioja Province, depicted within an oval cartouche surrounded by a laurel wreath, features the provincial shield with a sunburst at the top. The legend 'PROVINCIA DE LA RIOJA' arcs across the upper portion of the field in two lines, with 'PROVINCIA DE' above and 'LA RIOJA' in larger lettering below. The date '2024' appears in the lower left of the field. The entire design is set against a stippled background with a polished inner border typical of proof-style production. |

| Additional information |
Argentina's provinces have issued their own quasi-monetary tokens intermittently since the currency crises of the early 2000s, when federal peso shortages forced local governments to circulate provincial bonds and scrip as functional change. La Rioja's bocado issues follow that tradition of sub-national monetary improvisation, though the 2024 series arrives in a different crisis register — chronic peso devaluation rather than outright liquidity collapse.
