| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Santa Fé was one of several Argentine provincial banks that issued their own currency during the 1860s and 1870s, operating under provincial charter before the national government moved to consolidate monetary authority. The 1874 date places this note squarely in the period of contested currency pluralism — Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, and Santa Fé all maintained competing emissions, with convertibility promises that ranged from reliable to purely nominal depending on the year and the bank's reserve position.
The denomination in "Pesos Bolivianos" reflects the persistence of the Bolivian peso as a unit of account in the Litoral provinces well after it ceased to circulate as actual coin.
