5 Pesos Plata Boliviana

Banco del Litoral operated out of Buenos Aires in the early 1870s, one of several provincial institutions issuing notes denominated in pesos plata boliviana — a unit tied to the Bolivian silver peso that circulated alongside the Argentine peso fuerte in the Río de la Plata region during this period. The denomination itself signals the note's intended territory of trade: the northwestern and interior commercial corridors where Bolivian currency retained real market presence.

Surviving examples of this issue are scarce. The bank had a short operational life, and provincial Argentine note-issuing was curtailed progressively through the 1870s and 1880s as federal monetary consolidation took hold.
