| Comments |
The Banco Entre-Riano was a provincial bank operating out of Concepción del Uruguay in the Argentine province of Entre Ríos — a region that maintained considerable economic independence from Buenos Aires during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Provincial banks of this period issued their own notes freely, often with little backing, and Entre Ríos was no exception. The denomination itself, expressed in reales bolivianos, reflects the transitional monetary vocabulary still common in the Río de la Plata region before the peso system consolidated.
Survival rate for small-denomination provincial Argentine notes of the 1860s is extremely low. Fractional notes circulated hard and were discarded without sentiment.
