The obverse side bears the logo “UBA 200” and the reverse side the major seal of the University, both modeled in low relief. The main seal, created by the painter, medalist and UBA Professor Ernesto de la Cárcova, was designed at the request of the institution to celebrate its centenary and since then it has been used on all official documents.
