The Banco de Londres y Río de La Plata was the Argentine branch of the London and River Plate Bank, a British overseas bank that opened in Buenos Aires in 1862 and expanded to Rosario shortly after. Provincial banks in Argentina retained note-issuing rights through much of the 1860s and 1870s, and British commercial banks operating in the region issued their own paper alongside domestic institutions — a circumstance that ended progressively as national monetary consolidation tightened through the late 1880s.
Rosario-branch issues from this period are meaningfully scarcer than their Buenos Aires counterparts. The city was growing fast in 1871, driven by grain export trade, but its financial infrastructure was thinner and note circulation correspondingly smaller.
