| Opmerkingen |
The Confederación Argentina operated as a rival state to the Buenos Aires province government between 1853 and 1861, following the secession of Buenos Aires after Urquiza's victory at Caseros. Paraná served as the Confederation's capital, and notes printed there reflect a domestic production capacity that was, by any measure, rudimentary compared to the engraved issues Buenos Aires was sourcing from European firms at the same period.
Locally printed Confederation paper suffered chronic credibility problems in commerce — merchants in the interior often discounted it heavily or refused it outright. The entire monetary experiment collapsed after the Battle of Pavón in September 1861, when Urquiza withdrew his forces and Buenos Aires absorbed the Confederation, rendering this currency obsolete within months of issue.
