ARGENTINA, Buenos Aires, Banco de Buenos Ayres, 1 peso remainder, no date (1827-29), PMG AU 53. Pick-S328r. Ever-popular note printed by Fairman, Draper, Underwood & Co. featuring the portraits of Simón Bolívar and George Washington on either side. Bolívar was called the "Washington of South America" in his time, and although the two historical figures never met, Bolívar had a connection to Washington's family though correspondence with Washington's ally, the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1825, Washington's family gifted Bolívar a medallion featuring the portrait of the late president and a lock of his hair. Boldly printed example with very unevenly cut edges as is typical, nice paper quality with several blue and red silk threads visible (an anti-counterfeiting measure), a few tiny edge-tears hidden in the upper margin noted on the label.
