The Banco Nacional de las Provincias Unidas del Río de La Plata was a short-lived institution — chartered in 1826 under Bernardino Rivadavia's reformist government, it collapsed in 1836 amid the financial fallout from the war with Brazil and chronic government borrowing against its reserves. A note dated 1834 places it in the bank's final operating years, when public confidence had eroded badly and its paper traded at a steep discount to silver.
Printing in Buenos Aires rather than abroad was a deliberate political choice early in the republic's history, though it meant cruder production than contemporaneous notes from European presses.
