The Banco Provincial de Salta was one of several Argentine provincial banks empowered to issue notes under the banking laws of the 1880s — a decentralized experiment that ended badly. The Baring Crisis of 1890 triggered a collapse of confidence in provincial paper across Argentina, and most of these institutions were wound up or absorbed shortly after. Notes from Salta's provincial bank had an exceptionally short window of legitimate circulation.
ABNC engraved and printed the series in New York, as they did for numerous Latin American provincial clients during this period. Salta's geographic isolation from Buenos Aires meant redemption was always logistically difficult for ordinary holders.
