Tucumán's 1 Peso cuasimoneda was one of several provincial emergency currencies issued during Argentina's 1990s fiscal crises, when provinces lacking federal transfers began paying employees and suppliers in their own paper. These notes circulated under legal compulsion — holders could redeem them against provincial taxes — but acceptance in private commerce was uneven at best, and exchange at face value against national pesos was never guaranteed.
Casa de Moneda's involvement gave the series a surface legitimacy that purely provincial printings lacked, though this did little to reassure a public still scarred by the 1989–90 hyperinflation.
