| Comments |
Banco Argentino de Concordia operated out of Entre Ríos province during Argentina's brief but chaotic era of provincial free banking, before the 1887 Ley de Bancos Garantidos brought stricter federal oversight. Concordia, a river port on the Uruguay border, had enough cross-border trade to make fractional currency in Bolivian reales a practical commercial choice — Bolivia's silver real was still circulating widely in the interior long after most coastal centers had abandoned it.
The "187_" dating convention indicates the last digit was hand-completed at issue. PS#1451 is among the more obscure provincial Argentine entries in Krause, and surviving examples are rarely encountered in any condition.
