The Provincias Ligadas del Norte was a short-lived political confederation of Argentina's northwestern provinces — Tucumán, Salta, Jujuy, and Catamarca — that formed in the early 1840s in opposition to Rosas. The Banco Hipotecario in Tucumán issued notes under this banner, giving them a regional political character that went well beyond ordinary mortgage-bank paper. Hyphenating a bank's credit instrument to a confederation's name was an explicit statement of autonomy.

PS#1682 is among the rarest Argentine provincial issues of the period. The confederation itself dissolved within a few years, leaving this note with almost no circulation window and very few survivors.
