Anmerkungen

The Banco Argentino was one of several provincial commercial banks chartered in the Argentine Republic during the 1860s, operating out of Rosario at a moment when the city was emerging as a serious rival to Buenos Aires in trade and finance. The bank's notes were printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York — the dominant supplier to Latin American issuers throughout this period — and shipped south for local issue.

Provincial bank failures and currency fragmentation plagued Argentina through the late 1860s and into the 1870s, and many institutions of this type were short-lived. Surviving notes from the Banco Argentino are scarce, with most having been redeemed, cancelled, or simply lost in the disorder of successive monetary reorganizations.
