| Comments |
The Banco de Victoria was one of several provincial Argentine banks that briefly obtained note-issuing privileges during the early 1870s, a period when Buenos Aires province had not yet consolidated monetary authority. These institutions operated under provincial charter, and their notes were accepted only within limited geographic ranges — often a single department or town — making survival of any example genuinely unusual.
PS#1923 is among the scarcer entries in the South American provincial series. The bank's short operational life before the 1876 financial crisis that swept through Argentina's private banking sector means the volume of notes actually redeemed — let alone preserved — was negligible.
