5 Pesos Plata Corriente Boliviana

Banco de San Juan operated as one of the provincial banks authorized under Argentina's pre-1890 banking regime, when individual provinces — and even private institutions — could issue their own circulating notes. This branch issue for Tucumán is denominated in Bolivian pesos plata corriente rather than Argentine pesos fuertes, reflecting the commercial reality of the northwestern Argentine interior, where Bolivian silver currency dominated daily transactions well into the 1870s and beyond. Cross-border trade with Potosí and Salta made that denomination functionally necessary.

Kraft was among the most capable Buenos Aires printers of the period. The "187X" dating indicates the precise year of printing was never recorded or has not survived in documentation.
