| Comments |
Río Negro was one of several Argentine provinces that issued quasi-money during the fiscal crises of the 1980s and early 1990s, when chronic delays in federal revenue transfers left provincial governments unable to meet payroll. These notes — formally called "bonos" or "títulos" — circulated alongside federal pesos by necessity, accepted at par in local commerce even though they carried no guarantee from the Banco Central. The 1995 dating is notable: it places this emission after the Convertibility Law of 1991, which had nominally stabilized the peso, suggesting Río Negro's fiscal position remained precarious well into the recovery period.
Casa de Moneda's involvement gave the physical note a degree of credibility that crudely printed provincial scrip often lacked.
