About this banknote

The Central Bank of Argentina issued this series of banknotes from 1989 to 1991. This series was introduced as part of a currency reform during Argentina's period of hyperinflation. The 500,000 australes note from 1990, with Pick number 338, was part of this transition to accommodate the rapidly changing economy.

The front side of the banknote features a portrait of Mariano Quintana at the center, printed in black-violet, red, and blue, on a multicolor underprint. The reverse side depicts Liberty (Progreso) with a torch and shield positioned at the left center. The watermark consists of a Liberty head. These banknotes were printed by Casa de Moneda de Argentina (CdM-A).
