2 Reales Bolivianos

The Banco Paraná was one of several provincial Argentine banks that briefly flourished under the permissive banking legislation of the 1860s before federal consolidation eventually killed off most of them. This note, denominated in Bolivian reales rather than Argentine pesos, reflects the commercial reality of the Mesopotamian region — cross-border trade with Bolivia and Paraguay made mixed-currency accounting genuinely practical, not exotic.

The PS prefix in the reference confirms this as a South American state or private bank issue catalogued by Cuhaj outside the main Pick sequence. Documentation on Banco Paraná notes is thin, and surviving examples are rare enough that auction appearances are infrequent.
