| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Santa Fé was one of the provincial banks that flourished briefly under Argentina's pre-1890 decentralized banking regime, each issuing its own currency before the Baring Crisis and subsequent financial reforms swept most of them into extinction. The denomination — pesos plata boliviana — anchored the note to the Bolivian silver peso rather than to any Argentine standard, reflecting the commercial realities of the Litoral region, where cross-border trade made Bolivian coinage the dominant hard currency benchmark.
ABNC printed extensively for Argentine provincial banks during this period, often from shared or adapted plate elements. Whether this specific issue circulated widely or was quickly absorbed into the monetary chaos that preceded the 1890 collapse is not well documented.
