The Banco de la Província de Buenos Aires was one of the primary casualties of the 1890 Baring Crisis — the province's near-default on foreign debt triggered a collapse in confidence that brought down Baring Brothers in London and forced a wholesale restructuring of Argentine provincial banking. This note was issued in the immediate aftermath, as part of the province's attempt to stabilize liquidity while the national government scrambled to negotiate emergency credit.

ABNC's involvement was well-established by this period; the company had printed for Argentine institutions since the 1860s. The PS prefix in the Pick catalog places this in the provincial and private bank series — technically not a national emission, though in practice these notes circulated widely.
