1.000 Pesos ARG Banknote (Standard Issue) 2023

1.000 Pesos Peso (Issued 2023)

Argentina’s 1,000 Peso note issued in 2023 stands as one of the most visually ambitious denominations in the country’s modern currency programme, bearing the likeness of its greatest independence hero alongside one of South American history’s most celebrated military episodes. Currency specialists examining this note will immediately notice the dual warm tonal palette — a blend of coral, amber, and gold — which distinguishes it sharply from the cooler blues and greens of lower denominations. The inscription naming José Francisco de San Martín appears in full on the face of the note, making identification unambiguous and lending a directness rarely seen on contemporary Latin American issues. For those tracking the evolution of Argentine monetary design, the 2023 series represents a consolidation of security and artistry at the country’s highest circulating denomination.

On the front, the central portrait depicts José Francisco de San Martín, the revered Argentine general and liberator of South America, rendered in a warm coral and terracotta engraving style that dominates the right-hand portion of the note. San Martín is shown in his military uniform with high collar, his gaze directed slightly to the right of the viewer, the portrait framed by fine guilloché background patterning in amber and gold tones. To the upper left, the denomination numerals “1000” are printed in large, bold coral-red lettering, while below them the issuing authority is identified in clear typography as “BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA.” A vertical security strip runs along the left-centre of the note, bearing a series of small rectangular gold foil elements that shift with the viewing angle. In the upper right corner, a distinctive torch or flame motif rendered in purple and gold ink serves as an optically variable security device, accompanied by the numeral “1000” beneath it. To the right of the portrait, the text “MIL PESOS” appears in a smaller serif typeface, and below this the name “Jose Francisco de San Martín” is printed explicitly. A subtle repeating pattern incorporating the numeral “1000” in micro-print runs diagonally across the cream and gold background field, and the left-hand edge of the note carries vertical serial number text in coral ink. The overall colour field transitions from a warm cream at the centre outward to deeper golden-amber at the edges, giving the note a luminous, graduated appearance.

The reverse presents a dramatic historical composition in deep blue-violet and warm orange tones, depicting the Cruce de los Andes — the crossing of the Andes — with mounted figures and soldiers traversing a mountain landscape, the scene identified by the caption “Cruce de los Andes, 17 de enero de 1817.” The central group shows several figures on horseback and on foot, rendered in detailed engraved linework against a stylised mountain backdrop bathed in an amber and ochre glow. To the upper left, a radiating sun motif in pale gold provides a dramatic backdrop to the scene. The national motto “REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA EN UNIÓN Y LIBERTAD” is printed in the upper left quadrant in clear dark lettering, and the Argentine national coat of arms appears in blue towards the lower left. The serial number “00791440 A” is printed in black numerals across the upper right, accompanied by what appear to be printed signatures and official designations. The denomination “1000” appears again in large coral numerals at both the upper left and lower right of the reverse, reinforcing denomination recognition. A small decorative element in coral ink appears near the right-hand edge, and the lower centre carries the text “CASA DE MONEDA ARGENTINA,” identifying the printing authority. The background of the reverse is a warm orange-amber field overlaid with fine engraved line patterns, giving depth and texture to the composition.
