The Banco y Casa de Moneda de Buenos Ayres occupied a peculiar institutional position — it was simultaneously a bank of issue and a mint, a dual function that reflected Buenos Aires province's determination to maintain financial independence from the Argentine Confederation during a period of bitter political rivalry. By 1864, that rivalry had formally ended with Buenos Aires joining the unified republic, but the provincial bank continued issuing its own notes for several years after, a concession won during the integration negotiations.
