P-293 · 1 Peso · ND (1974)

The lowest denomination of the Decreto-Ley 18.188/69 series — a crisp orange note bearing Argentina's great liberator and a sweeping Patagonian panorama that feels almost too beautiful for a country about to tear itself apart.

Front

  • Colors: orange dominant engraving; multicolor underprint background
  • Portrait of General Manuel Belgrano at right — creator of the Argentine flag and hero of the Wars of Independence
  • Inscription: BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA · UN PESO · DECRETO-LEY No 18.188/69
  • Signatures: Ricardo A. Cairoli (General Manager) · Alfredo Gómez Morales (President)

Other Characteristics

P-294 · 5 Pesos · ND (1974–1976)

The 5 Peso note of the Decreto-Ley series pairs Belgrano's portrait with one of Argentina's most stirring monuments — the towering National Flag Memorial in Rosario, the very city where Belgrano first raised the Argentine flag in 1812.

Front

Back

Other Characteristics

P-295 · 10 Pesos · ND (1973–1976)

The 10 Peso note delivers the most dramatic reverse in the Belgrano sub-series — the thundering Iguazú Falls, one of the great natural wonders of the world, framed by the coat of arms of Argentina. Belgrano presides on the front; nature overwhelms on the back.

Front

  • Portrait of General Manuel Belgrano
  • Inscription: BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA · DIEZ PESOS · DECRETO-LEY Nº 18.188/69

Other Characteristics

P-296 · 50 Pesos · ND (1974–1975)

The first San Martín note in the set — and the first to break from Belgrano — the 50 Peso pairs the Libertador's portrait with a thermal springs scene from the remote Jujuy highlands, one of Argentina's most otherworldly landscapes.

Front

Back

  • Image of Termas de Reyes, Jujuy — a thermal springs resort nestled in a dramatic Andean canyon in northwestern Argentina
  • Inscription: REPUBLICA ARGENTINA · CINCUENTA PESOS

Other Characteristics

P-302 · 100 Pesos · ND (1976–1978)

The first note of the "Without Ley" series — the military junta had dispensed with even the pretense of decree-law authority. The 100 Peso sends San Martín to the end of the world: the reverse depicts Ushuaia, the southernmost city on Earth, perched at the tip of Tierra del Fuego.

The Peso Ley Era: Printing Money While Rome Burned

The Peso ley 18.188 was introduced in 1970 under a military government, replacing the old peso at 100:1 — Argentina's first of many currency resets. The Decreto-Ley inscription on the earlier notes (P-293 through P-296) literally means "Decree-Law" — a reminder that these notes were authorized not by a democratically elected congress but by military fiat. By the time the later notes in this set (P-302 through P-304) dropped the Ley inscription entirely, Argentina was deep into the Dirty War (1976–1983), a period of state terrorism under the military junta that "disappeared" an estimated 30,000 people. The peso ley itself was demonetized in 1983 — replaced by the peso argentino at 10,000:1 — as hyperinflation made even 1,000-peso notes nearly worthless.

Belgrano and San Martín: The Two Faces of Liberation

Manuel Belgrano (1770–1820) was a lawyer, economist, and general who created the Argentine flag in 1812 — the sky-blue and white colors said to mirror the sky over the Río de la Plata. He appears on the lower denominations of this set (1, 5, and 10 pesos). José de San Martín (1778–1850) is the Libertador — the general who crossed the Andes in one of history's most audacious military campaigns to liberate Chile and Peru. He dominates the higher denominations (50, 100, 500, and 1,000 pesos). Together, they bookend the entire arc of Argentine independence on a single set of notes.

Own this piece of Argentine history

Seven notes. Two heroes. One collapsing currency. This set captures Argentina at its most dramatic — a country of extraordinary natural beauty and intellectual vitality repeatedly undone by its own politics. The Llao-Llao resort on the back of the 1 peso remains one of the most beautiful images ever put on a banknote. Own the whole story.

Who is World Money Store?

World Money Store is me, Βrian Grοss, the sole proprietor of this small business, based in Washington D.C. I've spend half my adult life in The Netherlands and Mexico and have an addiction to travel, history and languages (Spanish, Dutch Russian and a few others); Arabic my current challenge. My personal instagram is @df2dc.

I've been on ebay for 22 years, and I am also on Whatnot. I put together the website myself, and do all the purchasing.

I travel around the world to personally select a range of banknotes that I KNOW match the interests of my customers, and by traveling to the right places, I get them at the best prices, too.

I have three main groups of customers:

1. the ones who love diverse colorful and affordable notes from around the world

2. those who love to own pieces of the propaganda of communist dictatorships (Cuba, North Korea) and "bad guys" like the Ayatollah, Saddam, Gadaffi. Iran (Shah, Ayatollah), Syria (Assad, current).

3. those who seek Venezuelan and Iranian currency. We sell banknotes for collecting purposes only (our intention).

I happen to have a lot of depth and breadth in Mexico and Brazil, in addition to Cuba and Iran.

I don't focus on anything from the U.S. and Canada, items from before World War II, "lucky" serial numbers, or PMG-graded items.
