50 Pesos

The Banco de la Nación Argentina is a state-owned commercial bank, not the central bank — the Banco Central de la República Argentina handles monetary policy and note authorization, while the Nación issues under its own institutional mandate, a distinction that confuses collectors working from issuer names alone. This 50 Pesos belongs to the post-2002 recovery series, issued after Argentina's catastrophic default and pesification of dollar-denominated deposits, a period that saw the peso reintroduced at 1:1 parity following the abandonment of convertibility.

Casa de Moneda in Buenos Aires printed the entire domestic series throughout this period, one of the few stretches in modern Argentine note history where foreign printing houses played no role.
