The Banco de la Província de Buenos Aires occupied an unusual position in Argentine monetary affairs — it functioned as a quasi-central bank for Buenos Aires province long after the province had reluctantly joined the Argentine Confederation, and its notes circulated on the strength of provincial credit rather than any federal guarantee. The 200 Pesos Fuertes denomination sat at the heavy end of the series, intended for commercial transactions rather than everyday exchange.
American Bank Note Company's involvement with Argentine provincial banks ran deep throughout the 1860s and 1870s, with plates shared or reused across multiple contracts. Worth checking whether the PS509 plate shares design elements with contemporary ABNC work for other La Plata-region issuers — not uncommon practice for the period.
