2018 Argentina 50 Pesos Banknote Andean Condor Cerro Aconcagua P-363
Issued by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (Banco Central de la República Argentina) and manufactured by the state printer S.E. Casa de Moneda, this legal tender 50 Pesos banknote forms an integral part of the celebrated "Native Animals of Argentina" (Animales Autóctonos de Argentina) definitive currency family. Cataloged internationally in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick #363 (P-363) and The Banknote Book as B423, this emission is dedicated to the Andean region and its prominent wildlife. The vertical-orientation obverse features an engraved depiction of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus / Cóndor Andino) in majestic flight over the Andes mountains, accompanied by regional floral blossoms, footprint registration motifs, microprinting, and the letter "L" representing the Roman numeral for 50. The horizontal-orientation reverse showcases Cerro Aconcagua—the highest peak in the Western and Southern Hemispheres—alongside a geographic distribution map highlighting the condor's Andean habitat, a silhouette of a juvenile condor, a compass rose, the national coat of arms of Argentina, and the historic national motto "En Unión y Libertad." Produced with advanced security architecture including a multi-tonal watermark of the condor, electrotype denomination text, segmented metallic security threading, and dual serial numbering with suffix B, this piece serves as a premier modern type specimen for collections focusing on South American numismatics, mountainous landscapes, and global ornithological paper money.
