(x) Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, a set of the 1891 'Second Printing' issue, including issued 1 peso, remainder 2 pesos, remainder 5 pesos, issued 10 pesos, remainder 50 pesos, remainder 100 pesos, proof 500 pesos,
(Bauman BA-212 - BA218, Pick S573-579), This earlier issue did not have 'Certificado de Deposito' on, hence this later set was issued. The 1 and 5 peso were issued first, and were widely used with the public. Building on this popularity, the bank issued the 2, 10, 50, 100 and 500 pesos subsequently. As these were issued, the public confidence decreased greatly as they were not convinced the bank had enough gold to back up the notes. Therefore very few were issued, the handful of examples are in museums. This lot includes one scarce issued 10 pesos, with other remainders and proofs. 2 pesos in PMG holder 50 About Uncirculated, 1 and 5 pesos with punch hole, remaining about uncirculated to uncirculated. A great opportunity to obtain this elusive set, likely unique (7 notes)
