El Estado de Buenos Ayres, Argentina, a reprint for a 1000 Pesos, ND (ca 1900), black and white, value at centre, allegorical symbols at each corner, arms top left, llamas at right, kangaroos at left (there is a body of opinion that think it perfectly possible that kangaroos were indigenous to Argentina at some earlier time),
(Pick S423, Bauman PBA76rp), about very fine, scarce and the most unusual note ever printed for Argentina: only one issued note known (which is in a museum) and this cataloguer has only ever seen two reprints, both of which are in private collections
