| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Argentino was one of several provincial free-banking institutions operating in Argentina's Entre Ríos province during the 1860s, a period when no central monetary authority existed and individual banks issued their own notes against specie reserves — or claimed to. Denominated in pesos plata boliviana rather than the more common peso fuerte, this note reflects the practical reality of cross-border commerce along the Uruguay River, where Bolivian silver coinage was still the dominant circulating medium.
Concordia's position as a river port made this denomination commercially logical. Whether the issuing bank maintained adequate reserves is another matter entirely — Entre Ríos free banking had a troubled record on that point.
