The Provincia de Buenos Ayres operated its own monetary system independently of the Argentine Confederation for decades — a consequence of Buenos Aires' secession in 1852 following Urquiza's victory at Caseros. By 1869, the province had rejoined the national structure politically, but its provincial bank continued issuing its own paper currency until the Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires was reorganized under tighter federal oversight in the 1870s.

ABNC handled the printing through their New York facilities, as they did for much of Latin American provincial paper during this period. The PS prefix in the Pick reference denotes provincial or state issuer status — a detail that matters for attribution when similar ABNC plate styles appear across multiple Argentine issuers of the same era.
