About this banknote
The Banco Central de la República Argentina issued the 5 australes banknote in 1985 as part of the transition from the peso argentino to the austral currency, which was introduced on June 15, 1985. This provisional issue involved overprinting existing 5,000 peso argentino notes (Pick #318) with the new denomination to expedite the currency changeover.
The front of the banknote features a purple overprint indicating the new denomination, with a rectangle on the watermark area. The watermark displays an image of José de San Martín. The back retains the original design of the 5,000 peso argentino note, with a brown overprint denoting the new value. This overprinted series is cataloged as Pick #321.
