| Comments |
The Banco Provincial de Santa Fé was one of the provincial banks authorized under Argentina's pre-1890 free banking period, when individual provinces could charter their own note-issuing institutions without federal oversight. That arrangement collapsed spectacularly with the Baring Crisis of 1890, but in 1875 the bank was operating normally enough to commission ABNC for a full series of denominations.
The Rosario and Santa Fé variants of this series — same plates, different place-of-payment text — are catalogued separately precisely because circulation was regionally designated. PS-818A2 is the scarcer of the two; Santa Fé saw less commercial traffic than Rosario, which by the 1870s was already the more active trading hub on the Paraná.
