The Banco Entre-Riano was one of several provincial Argentine banks chartered in the late 1860s under the relatively permissive banking legislation that allowed Entre Ríos province to issue its own currency. Denomination in "Moneda Boliviana" rather than pesos fuertes or pesos corrientes signals the monetary confusion of the period — Bolivia's hard currency retained enough regional credibility in the Río de la Plata interior that provincial issuers found it commercially useful to peg their paper to it.
The Compañía Nacional de Billetes de Banco was the Spanish-language trade name used by the National Bank Note Company of New York, which printed for numerous Latin American clients during this period.
