Argentina 1867 - Banco Oxandaburu y Garvino 5 Pesos Bolivianos Remainder (Pick S1776r)

Two principal engraved vignettes dominate the design. At left, a rural scene shows a standing man and woman within an agricultural setting, surrounded by elements of country life. At upper center-right, a finely engraved horse head appears above the payment text. Together with the denomination panels and ornamental engraving, these images connect the note visually with the rural economy and livestock culture that formed an important part of nineteenth-century Argentine commerce.

Argentina 1867 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 4 Reales Plata Boliviana Proof (Pick S1734p)

The design features a central bull’s head vignette framed by intricate ornamental borders - a unique choice among Argentine banknotes. The bull ('toro') represented strength, prosperity, and the livestock wealth that drove Argentina’s early export economy. Its use on this note reflects both local identity and the bank’s confidence in the agrarian growth of the interior provinces.

The upper vignette depicts two nandus (rheas) in a rural landscape, a recurring symbol of the Rio de la Plata region and its agrarian identity. A secondary single nandu vignette appears in the central field. Vertical 'CINCO' denomination panels frame both sides, and a checkered security band runs along the lower margin. Circular medallions bearing the numeral 5 reinforce denomination clarity within a design typical of early Argentine provincial issues.
