The Banco Argentino of Santa Fé was one of the provincial banks operating under Argentina's fragmented pre-1890 banking regime, in which individual provinces licensed private institutions to issue their own currency. This 1 Peso Plata Boliviana note dates from 1873, well before the Banco Nacional took firm hold over note issuance — a period when Bolivian silver coinage still functioned as a reference unit in the interior provinces, particularly along the old trade corridors connecting the Río de la Plata to Upper Peru.
ABNC printed for dozens of Latin American clients during this period, and the plates were produced in New York regardless of where the issuing bank sat.
