Argentina's provinces briefly regained the right to issue their own quasi-currency during the mid-1980s as the national government struggled to contain hyperinflationary collapse. Salta's issue was part of that wave — emergency provincial scrip, legal within the province but not beyond it, filling a gap left by a chronic shortage of small-denomination federal notes that had become practically worthless in real terms anyway.
Casa de la Moneda in Buenos Aires printed the series, which puts an interesting distance between the federal mint and a note designed to circumvent federal monetary inadequacy.
