| Opmerkingen |
Banco J. Benites é Hijo was a private commercial bank operating in Argentina during the brief and chaotic period of provincial free banking that preceded the consolidation of the Argentine financial system in the 1880s. These private bank notes circulated alongside dozens of competing issues, with public confidence varying sharply depending on the issuing house's known reserves and reputation at any given moment.
The "Fuertes" denomination is significant — it denotes hard-currency pesos, nominally backed by metal, as distinct from the inflated paper moneda corriente that plagued Argentine commerce throughout this period. Whether that backing was genuinely maintained is another matter.
