UNC Argentina 5 Australes Banknote ND (1985–1991) – Justo José de Urquiza

Add a fascinating piece of Argentina’s economic history to your collection with this Argentina 5 Australes banknote in Uncirculated (UNC) condition. Issued by the Banco Central de la República Argentina during the Austral currency period (1985–1991), this note represents an important chapter in the country’s efforts to combat hyperinflation through monetary reform.

Introduced as part of the Austral Plan in 1985, the Austral replaced the Argentine Peso at a rate of 1 Austral = 1,000 Pesos Argentinos. The currency remained in circulation until 1991, when it was replaced by the modern Argentine Peso. Today, Australes banknotes are popular with collectors due to their historical significance and attractive classical designs.

The obverse features a portrait of General Justo José de Urquiza, an influential Argentine military leader and statesman who served as the first constitutional President of the Argentine Confederation. The reverse depicts “Progreso” (Liberty), seated with a torch and the Argentine coat of arms, symbolising national progress and freedom.
