10 Pesos Plata Boliviana

The Banco Comercial de Santa Fé was one of several provincial Argentine banks chartered in the 1860s under a decentralized banking model that allowed individual provinces to issue their own currency — an arrangement that lasted until the national banking reforms of the 1890s forced consolidation. The denomination in pesos plata boliviana reflects the practical reality of the Río de la Plata region at the time: Bolivian silver coinage circulated freely alongside Argentine and foreign specie, and banknotes denominated to match that coinage were easier to redeem at face value in daily trade.

ABNC's involvement was typical for Latin American provincial issuers of this period who lacked access to domestic security printers capable of producing fraud-resistant notes.
