10 Centavos

Jujuy's 1986 provincial issue belongs to a brief, chaotic window when Argentina's monetary system was fracturing faster than the federal government could manage. The Austral had just replaced the Peso Argentino that year, but provincial governments — Jujuy among them — were already printing their own quasi-currency to cover payroll and basic obligations that Buenos Aires couldn't or wouldn't fund. These notes are sometimes called "patacones" in the colloquial Argentine vernacular, though that term more precisely belongs to the 2001 Buenos Aires provincial bond.

Circulation was intensely local and short-lived. Most examples that survived did so in drawers, not wallets.
