Comments

Mouchon was a French engraver best known for his postal work — his 1900 "Rights of Man" stamp design caused considerable controversy in France — and his involvement in Argentine banknote production reflects the long-standing practice of Buenos Aires contracting European printing houses for prestige currency work during this period. The plates for this series were produced well before the notes entered circulation, with the design predating the formal 1936 issue date by some years.

The ten-year emission window across 1936–1946 spans the politically turbulent Castillo and early Perón years, though the note itself was not redesigned to reflect the change in regime.
