The 4½ Centavos Fuertes denomination is an oddity by any measure — fractional centavo notes are rare in Latin American banking history, and this one belongs to a brief, troubled chapter in Argentine provincial finance. The Banco Nacional's fractional emissions of 1879 were driven by a chronic shortage of small coin in circulation, a problem that plagued Argentina's interior throughout the 1870s as silver drained out faster than it could be replaced.
G. Kraft was a well-established Buenos Aires commercial printer, not a specialist security printer, which shows in the relatively modest production values of this series.
