Argentina's provinces retained emergency authority to issue their own quasi-currency during the chronic instability of the 1980s, and Salta exercised it. These provincial notes circulated alongside — and often instead of — federal currency when the national supply failed to meet local demand, a situation that was neither unusual nor temporary during the Austral plan's troubled implementation after June 1985.
Casa de la Moneda, the federal mint, printed this note for a provincial issuer, an arrangement that underscores just how fragmented Argentine monetary administration had become by the mid-decade.
