This note commemorates the "Declaration of Economic Independence" proclaimed by Perón at Tucumán on 9 July 1947 — deliberately staged at the same site where Argentina declared political independence in 1816. The pairing was nakedly symbolic, framing the nationalization of the British-owned railways and the cancellation of Argentina's external debt as a second founding act. Printing it on currency extended that propaganda into everyday transactions.
The two signature combinations reflect the note's three-year production span across successive economy ministers, Gómez Morales giving way to Revestido as Perón's economic management shifted under mounting inflation pressure.
