| Obverse description | The note is framed by an intricate guilloche border with repeated 'UN REAL' legends and numeral '1' cartouches at the corners and along the margins. A central letterpress text panel set over a guilloche underprint carries the bank name 'BANCO DEL LITORAL', series and serial designations, and the denomination 'UN REAL PLATA BOLIVIANA'; to the right, a vignette portrays two swans resting on water among reeds, while a tall ornamental device occupies the left margin. The place and date of issue, 'PARANA, 1º Octubre de 1875', appear at the foot of the note. |

| Comments |
Banco del Litoral operated out of Paraná, the capital of Entre Ríos province, during the brief window of Argentina's free banking period — before the national government moved to consolidate and regulate provincial note-issuing activity in the late 1870s and 1880s. The denomination itself, real plata boliviana, is a relic: by 1875 the Bolivian silver real had long ceased to circulate as coin in any meaningful volume, but it persisted as a unit of account in the Río de la Plata region well past its practical usefulness.
PS#1704 is among the scarcer listings from Entre Ríos provincial banking, with very few confirmed surviving examples recorded.
