5 Pesos Moneda Boliviana

Banco de Mendoza was a provincial Argentine institution operating under the short-lived free banking period of the 1860s–70s, when individual provinces still chartered their own note-issuing banks before the national government moved to consolidate monetary authority. The "Moneda Boliviana" denomination is the telling detail here — it references the Bolivian peso fuerte, a unit that circulated alongside Argentine and Chilean coinage in the Andean provinces due to cross-border trade patterns and chronic coin shortages in the interior.

ABNC handled the printing, as they did for dozens of Latin American provincial issuers during this period. Provincial Argentine notes from this era survive in small numbers; many banks folded or were absorbed within years of issue, and redemption or destruction of remaining stock was rarely documented.
