| Comments |
The Municipality of Cuyo issued this note during the provincial fiscal disruptions of the early 1940s, when smaller Argentine administrative units occasionally stepped in to fill gaps left by inadequate federal coin supply. Municipal issues of this kind were legally marginal — tolerated out of practical necessity rather than any formal authorization from Buenos Aires.
Cuyo as a municipal issuer is poorly documented in the literature, and surviving examples are genuinely uncommon. The two-year window suggests limited production runs tied to a specific local shortage rather than any ongoing emissions program.
