Daniel González y Ca. was a private commercial house operating in Mendoza, not a bank in any formal sense. Notes issued under such commercial imprints were common in mid-19th century provincial Argentina, where chartered banking infrastructure was thin and merchants essentially created their own circulating credit instruments. The denomination in Bolivian reales rather than Argentine pesos almost certainly reflects cross-border commerce through the Andean passes — Mendoza sat on the principal mule route connecting the Argentine interior to Bolivia and Chile.
PS# placement in Krause confirms this as a South American private issue rather than a state-sanctioned emission. Very few examples are documented.
