Buenos Aires, Argentina, Banco de Buenos Ayres, 1 peso remainder, no date (1827-29), Bolivar & Washington portraits, PMG XF 40. SCWPM-S328r. Ever-popular note printed by Fairman, Draper, Underwood & Co. featuring the portraits of Simon Bolivar and George Washington on either side. Bolivar was called the "Washington of South America" in his time and although the two historical figures never met, Bolivar had a connection to Washington's family though correspondence with Washington's ally, the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1825, Washington's family gifted Bolivar a medallion featuring the portrait of the late president and a lock of his hair. This note, though a remainder, exhibits some handling yet faces up much nicer than the numerical grade suggests with choice original paper, bold printing, and good margins.
($500-750)
