Argentina 1876 Banco de San Juan 1 Peso Fuerte archival specimen printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, condor vignette, provincial private bank issue, PMG 64 EPQ

Argentina 1876 - Banco de San Juan 1 Peso Fuerte Specimen (Pick S1880s)

The Banco de San Juan operated within the interior province of San Juan during a period when Argentina’s banking system was highly decentralized. Provincial banks issued their own paper currency under legal frameworks that allowed convertibility into metallic pesos fuertes, supporting local economies centered on mining, viticulture, mule transport, and inter-Andean trade routes. These institutions functioned independently of Buenos Aires, reflecting a fragmented national monetary structure that would only be consolidated decades later. Read more →

Issued Banco de Zaragoza 2000 reales vellón consecutive pair, Serie E Nos. 00031–00032, Pick S455, Zaragoza 14 May 1857, cancellation punches

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 2000 Reales Vellón Serie E Issued Consecutive Pair No. 00031–00032 (Pick S455)

The Banco de Zaragoza operated during Spain’s brief liberal banking period following the 1856 reforms, when select provincial banks were authorised to issue their own circulating paper currency. Zaragoza structured its emissions by denomination through alphabetic series, with Serie E corresponding to 2000 reales vellón. These high-denomination notes were intended for large commercial settlements and institutional use, resulting in extremely low survival rates once redemption and withdrawal policies were enforced.
