Banco Provincial de Catamarca was one of several Argentine provincial banks authorized to issue notes under the 1887 Ley de Bancos Garantidos, which required gold backing deposited with the national government in exchange for the right to print. The system collapsed spectacularly by 1890, triggering the Baring Crisis and wiping out most of these provincial institutions. Catamarca's bank was among the casualties.
Bradbury Wilkinson engraved and printed the entire series from their New Malden works. The firm was the dominant supplier to South American provincial issuers in this period, which means the plate quality is almost certainly better than the bank that commissioned it deserved.
