| Comments |
The Tesorería General de la Confederación Argentina operated out of Paraná, the capital of the breakaway Confederation that existed in opposition to the Buenos Aires-dominated state from 1853 until the two were reunified following the Battle of Pavón in 1861. Notes issued under this authority had a short operational window — effectively less than a decade — and many were withdrawn and destroyed after reunification rendered them politically inconvenient.
PS# prefix in the Pick catalog places this firmly in the specimensor provisional issues category, meaning surviving examples in any form are not common. 1860 is late in the Confederation's existence.
