| Opmerkingen |
Corrientes was one of the few Argentine provinces that operated with genuine monetary independence for decades, issuing its own paper currency from 1839 onward in near-total disregard of Buenos Aires. This ½ Real belongs to the earliest layer of that provincial emission, a period when the Banco Provincial de Corrientes was functioning less as a modern bank than as a fiscal convenience for a government perpetually short of coin. The notes were printed locally — rudimentary by any measure — reflecting the very limited typographic resources available in the provincial capital at the time.
Surviving examples are genuinely rare. Most circulated hard in a small regional economy before being lost or destroyed.
