| Comments |
The Banco Entre-Riano was one of several provincial Argentine banks that issued currency under the looser monetary arrangements of the pre-1890 period, before the Banca Nacional and eventually the Caja de Conversión consolidated note-issuing authority. That this note is denominated in Pesos Moneda Boliviana rather than Pesos Fuertes or Pesos Moneda Corriente reflects the practical currency realities of Entre Ríos province, where Bolivian silver coinage circulated actively enough to warrant its own denomination unit on locally issued paper.
The Compañía Nacional de Billetes de Banco was the Spanish-language trade name used by the American Bank Note Company for its Latin American business at this period.
