Issued Banco de Zaragoza 2000 reales vellón, Serie E No. 00500, Pick S455, 14 May 1857

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 2000 Reales Vellón Serie E Issued Note No. 00500 (Pick S455)

The Banco de Zaragoza, active from 1857 to 1874, produced one of the most architecturally consistent and visually elaborate provincial banknote series in Spain. Its structured emission of reales de vellón comprised Serie A (100 reales), Serie B (200 reales), Serie C (500 reales), Serie D (1000 reales), Serie E (2000 reales), and Serie F (4000 reales). Of all these, issued Serie E notes are among the hardest to obtain; almost all known survivors show the characteristic circular cancellation punch used by the bank to void redeemed notes.

Argentina 1869 Banco Domingo Garbino 5 Pesos Fuertes issued note, Pick S1803, overprint on Banco Oxandaburu y Garbino Pick S1792, red BANCO DOMINGO GARBINO overprint, PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated

Argentina 1869 - Banco Domingo Garbino, 5 Pesos Fuertes Issued Note with Red Overprint (Pick S1803)

Historically, these notes belong to Argentina's fragmented late-1860s and early-1870s monetary environment, when private and provincial banking institutions issued paper obligations alongside multiple metallic currency standards. The transition from the 1867 Pesos Bolivianos partnership notes to the 1869 Pesos Fuertes series documents a change in monetary denomination, while the subsequent BANCO DOMINGO GARBINO overprint records the later institutional reuse of the earlier printed currency.
