| Comments |
Corrientes issued its own currency independently of Buenos Aires throughout the Confederation period — a reflection of the fragmented political reality of the Argentine littoral in the early 1850s. This note appeared just as Urquiza's forces had defeated Rosas at Caseros, leaving each province to manage its own fiscal affairs while a national constitution was being negotiated.
Provincial notes from Corrientes at this date are among the most ephemeral paper money produced in the Río de la Plata region. Printing was rudimentary, often handled by local presses without specialized security features, and redemption was erratic at best.
Survivors in any condition are genuinely scarce.
