Pick 249b belongs to the long-running Series B issue, distinguished from 249a by a signature combination change — a common source of confusion when cataloging Argentine notes of this period, since the bank cycled through treasury and central bank official pairings with some frequency. The two variants are otherwise identical in printing.
Argentina's chronic inflation through the mid-twentieth century meant low-denomination peso notes like this one circulated hard and briefly before becoming economically irrelevant. Heavily worn examples dominate the market for good reason.
