| Comments |
Tucumán's provincial paper issues of the 1910s occupied a legally ambiguous space — the Argentine Constitution had long reserved currency emission for the national government, yet several provinces continued issuing their own notes well into the twentieth century under the justification of emergency treasury needs. This note likely functioned as a local payment instrument, circulating within the province rather than competing in broader Argentine commerce.
PS2245 is sparsely documented in the standard catalogs, which suggests low survival rates or limited original print runs — possibly both.
