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)

Unlike later engraved security issues produced by specialized banknote printers, the 1866 emission belongs to the earlier typographic tradition of bank vales. The design relies on ornamental typographic borders repeating the word "REAL" around the frame, with the denomination centered within a circular medallion. A large manuscript text panel carries the payment promise and place of issue, emphasizing clarity and immediate recognition in active commercial environments.
