Argentina 1881 Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires 2 Pesos Oro Proof, PMG 64 Top Pop

Argentina 1881 - Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires 2 Pesos Oro Proof (Pick S536fp)

Only one example is certified in the PMG census, graded 64 Choice Uncirculated (Top Pop) - the sole recorded proof of this denomination and date. Beyond its rarity, this engraving illustrates the precision and artistry characteristic of the American Bank Note Company during the late 19th century, when U.S. firms dominated Latin American banknote production. This proof stands as a tangible artifact of that era’s intersection between artistry, financial expansion, and technological excellence.

Argentina 1884 El Banco del Chaco 1 Peso Moneda Nacional Oro, Serial 05056, corner-missing example

Argentina 1884 - El Banco del Chaco 1 Peso Moneda Nacional Oro Serial 05056 (Pick S1566)

Rarity: the entire PMG census lists only two graded examples of Pick S1566 (VF 10 and VF 15). With both serial 05056 (fragmented) and 15849 (complete) now documented in this collection, they represent the only illustrated and confirmed survivors. This fragment therefore stands as a research cornerstone for the type, bridging catalog theory and tangible evidence of one of Argentina’s rarest 19th-century provincial notes.
