Period 1888-1894

During the presidency of Miguel Juárez Celman (10.12.1886 - 08.06.1890), the November 3, 1887, Congress enacted the National Bank Guarantor, to equalize the circulation of money that he suffered an embarrassment by local emissions of the provinces.

Guaranteed Banks Act provided that any bank was authorized to issue notes on the condition to deposit gold in the treasury, for which they receive a certain amount of government bonds.

Issues were made National Bank Notes, Bank of the Province of Buenos Aires, Salta, Tucuman and Mendoza among others. With the creation of the Currency Board ("Caja de Conversión") in 1890 were combined emissions.
