| Beschrijving voorzijde | Black intaglio print on light paper. A central vignette presents a portrait of a young woman in three-quarter view, set against fine guilloche work. The denomination "0.40" appears in circular guilloche cartouches at left and right. The bank title "EL BANCO DE LA PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AYRES" runs across the top, with the handwritten pay-to-bearer clause and date below the portrait, and "CUARENTA CENTESIMOS FUERTES en moneda de oro de curso legal" inscribed along the lower panel. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banco de la Província de Buenos Ayres had a complicated relationship with the American Bank Note Company throughout the 1860s — multiple series were contracted in New York precisely because local printing infrastructure couldn't meet the security standards demanded after a wave of counterfeiting that had badly undermined confidence in provincially issued paper. This 40 Centésimos Fuertes denomination sits in an awkward monetary moment: the "fuertes" system was already under pressure by 1869, with peso moneda corriente and peso fuerte exchange rates creating chronic confusion in everyday commerce.
The PS# prefix indicates this is a privately issued provincial bank note rather than a national emission — significant because Buenos Aires province and the Argentine confederation had only recently resolved their bitter monetary and political rivalry.
