| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Comercial de Corrientes was one of several provincial banks operating in Argentina during the 1860s under a decentralized monetary regime that allowed individual provinces to charter their own issuing institutions. Corrientes, perpetually at odds with Buenos Aires over federal authority, had particular motivation to maintain its own financial infrastructure — the province had even briefly declared independence from the Argentine Confederation in the early part of the decade.
Notes from this bank are genuinely rare. Provincial Argentine paper from this period suffered high attrition: poor storage conditions, redemption drives, and the eventual nationalization of currency issuance under the Banco Nacional wiped out most surviving stocks.
