| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Córdoba was one of several Argentine provincial banks authorized to issue currency under the 1854 banking law, a fragmented arrangement that produced a chaotic circulating medium across the country's interior provinces. ABNC printed much of this material during the 1870s and 1880s, and the quality of engraving was generally far superior to what Buenos Aires-based presses could supply at the time.
Provincial bank notes from Córdoba of this period were formally invalidated when the 1890 banking crisis forced the consolidation of Argentine currency issuance under federal authority — meaning this series had a working life of less than a decade.
