| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Nacional de las Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata had a turbulent institutional life — founded in 1826, it was liquidated in 1836 under pressure from the Rosas government, which was ideologically hostile to centralized banking. Notes issued under the PS#376 series therefore postdate the bank's formal dissolution, meaning this 500 Pesos circulated under a successor liquidation authority still clearing old obligations, not under an actively functioning bank.
At 500 Pesos, this is among the higher denominations of the series — practical for merchant transactions, rarely handled by ordinary porteños.
