| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Santa-Fé was established by the provincial government as a state-backed institution in the early 1870s, at a time when Argentine provinces retained significant autonomy over their own monetary emissions. The designation "Peso Moneda Boliviana" reflects the currency unit in use across parts of the interior before Argentina unified its monetary system — the Bolivian peso had circulated widely in the Río de la Plata region and remained the common reference denomination in provincial commerce well into the 1870s.
The PS-808/PS-809 split in the Pick catalog distinguishes notes by place of issue printed on the face: this Rosario branch variant versus the Santa Fé variant. C. Fleury was a Buenos Aires-based lithographic printer active during this period.
