Argentina 1866 Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 1 Real Rosario Type A printed signature serial 635405

Argentina 1866 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 1 Real Rosario Type A with Printed Signature Issued Note (PS1731, Bauman SFE 70)

Most notes of this early issue were later redeemed and destroyed as Argentina moved toward a more centralized national monetary system. Surviving examples therefore provide valuable documentation of the transitional period when provincial commerce relied heavily on privately issued credit instruments backed by foreign banking capital.

Argentina 1866 Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 1 Real Rosario Type B handwritten signature serial 636796

Argentina 1866 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 1 Real Rosario Type B with Hand Signature Issued Note (PS1731, Bauman SFE 70)

This example represents the Type B variety distinguished by its handwritten authorization signature. Unlike Type A notes bearing printed authorization, Type B examples were manually countersigned by a bank officer at the Rosario branch before entering circulation. Such signatures reflect the semi-private operational structure of provincial banking during this early period.

Argentina 1884 El Banco del Chaco 1 Peso Moneda Nacional Oro, Serial 15849

Argentina 1884 - El Banco del Chaco 1 Peso Moneda Nacional Oro Serial 15849 (Pick S1566)

Historically, the Chaco series represents Argentina’s experiment with provincial convertibility-private banks issuing gold-backed paper within a unified national framework. These notes circulated briefly across the northern frontier, a region opened by British-funded rail and river trade. Each surviving piece testifies to the reach of foreign engravers in shaping Argentina’s economic imagery.
