| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Nacional of Argentina issued this fractional note during a period when small coin was chronically scarce across the River Plate region — a shortage severe enough that privately issued paper fractions and even postage stamps had been pressed into circulation as substitutes. Four centavos is an unusually low denomination for a chartered bank issue, and the American Bank Note Company's involvement signals this was a formally contracted printing, not an emergency stopgap.
The PS prefix in Pick's catalog places it among speciman or private bank issues, and Argentine provincial and national banking history of the 1870s is littered with institutions that issued notes under federal charter but failed before full redemption. Worth confirming which specific redemption history applies to this series.
