| Comments |
Entre Ríos issued its own provincial currency well into the national period, a reflection of how slowly fiscal centralization actually took hold in Argentina after the 1853 constitution. The province had long operated with a degree of financial autonomy that Buenos Aires and later the national government found inconvenient but could not immediately dismantle.
The "Fuertes" designation distinguished these notes from depreciated paper reales — hard-money accounting on soft paper. PS#1372 is thinly documented in the Standard Catalog, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce.
