| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Santa-Fé operated under a provincial banking charter during the period when Argentine monetary policy was fragmented across competing regional institutions, each issuing its own paper. This Rosario-designated variant is cataloged separately from the Santa-Fé place-of-issue version (PS-808) because the place of payment printed on the note was treated by the bank as a material distinction — the same underlying obligation, but honored at a specific branch office rather than the provincial capital.
Provincial bank failures in the 1870s and 1880s were common enough that many notes of this type were never redeemed. Survivors tend to show light circulation, having been pulled from use when confidence in the issuer wavered.
