About this banknote

The Banco Central de la República Argentina issued the 100 australes banknote in 1985 as part of the introduction of the austral currency, which replaced the peso argentino at a rate of 1 austral to 1,000 pesos on June 15, 1985. This monetary reform aimed to address the country's hyperinflation during that period.

The front of the banknote features a portrait of Domingo F. Sarmiento at the center, with a latent image of "BCRA." The reverse side depicts Liberty (Progreso) seated at the left center, holding a torch and shield. The note measures 155 x 65 mm and includes multiple sunburst watermarks. It was printed by Casa de Moneda (CdM) and was demonetized on November 30, 1992.
