At upper left, the inscription PROVINCIA DE CÓRDOBA / REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA appears above two facsimile signatures — those of the Ministro de Finanzas and the Secretario de Administración Financiera — flanking a central text block reading LETRAS DE CANCELACIÓN DE OBLIGACIONES PROVINCIALES DE CÓRDOBA (LECOP CÓRDOBA) / AL PORTADOR / CINCO / PESOS VALOR NOMINAL, with the maturity date VENCIMIENTO 31 DE OCTUBRE DE 2004 at lower center.

| Comments |
Argentina's provincial quasi-currencies — the so-called "patacones" and their regional equivalents — emerged from the 2001 fiscal crisis as individual provinces lost access to federal transfers and could no longer meet payroll in pesos. Córdoba's own instrument, locally called the "lecop" or in some issues the "lecor," was one of several province-level emergency notes that briefly ran parallel to the national currency before the peso's formal collapse in December 2001 and the subsequent corralito.
The PS# reference indicates this has not been formally catalogued in standard Pick, which is common for the wave of Argentine provincial emissions from this period — many were short-lived, inconsistently documented, and redeemed quickly once federal stabilization funds arrived after 2002.
