The reverse is plain, unprinted paper showing typical aging, foxing, and handling wear consistent with a mid-nineteenth-century Argentine provincial issue. Faint manuscript notations and ink traces are visible, likely from contemporary endorsements or accounting records made during circulation. |

The Junta de la Administración de la Casa de Moneda was not a conventional central bank but an administrative body overseeing the Buenos Aires mint — an institution that had itself been converting from metallic coinage to paper money obligations since the 1820s, largely as a consequence of the Banco de la Provincia's chronic specie shortages. By 1844, Buenos Aires under Rosas was effectively running a paper currency system with no meaningful convertibility, the mint-administered notes functioning as forced tender in a province that had long abandoned any pretense of a metallic standard.
PS#384 is among the earlier locally printed issues, produced within Buenos Aires rather than commissioned abroad.
