| Comments |
The Junta de la Administración de la Casa de Moneda was Buenos Aires's provincial monetary authority — not a national central bank, which Argentina would not consolidate for decades. This note predates the Confederación period and circulated in a political environment where Buenos Aires Province actively resisted integration with the interior provinces, partly to retain control of customs revenue and, by extension, its currency apparatus.
The 1844 series is catalogued under PS# (Specialized) rather than the main Pick sequence, reflecting its provincial rather than national character. Genuine survivors with legible manuscript dates are harder to find than the catalog frequency suggests.
