Uruguay 1871 Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 10 Pesos face proof, obverse-only engraving proof, PCGS 61 New

Uruguay 1871 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 10 Pesos Face Proof (Pick S239p)

The Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata was one of the principal foreign-linked banking institutions operating within the Rio de la Plata region during the nineteenth century. Its Uruguayan issues belong to an era in which privately organized banks supplied substantial portions of the circulating paper currency and relied on major international security printers to provide technically sophisticated notes capable of supporting public confidence and commercial use. The 10 Pesos denomination formed part of this broader private-bank monetary system operating through Montevideo and the surrounding regional economy.
