| Comments |
Banco de Cuyo was one of several provincial Argentine banks authorized to issue currency in the mid-nineteenth century, operating out of Mendoza and serving the Cuyo region at the foot of the Andes. The American Bank Note Company printed for dozens of Latin American institutions during this period, and the Cuyo plates would have been part of that considerable commercial operation out of New York — the bank had no printing capacity of its own.
PS1644 falls within a series where surviving examples are genuinely uncommon, partly because Banco de Cuyo's note-issuing life was cut short by the national banking reforms of the 1880s, which progressively stripped provincial banks of their circulation rights ahead of the Banco de la Nación Argentina's establishment in 1891.
