2.000 Pesos ARG Banknote (Standard Issue) 2023

2.000 Pesos Peso (Issued 2023)

Argentina’s 2,000 Pesos note of 2023 stands out immediately for its dual portrait composition, a relatively uncommon design choice in Latin American currency, pairing two foundational figures of Argentine medicine on a single face. A currency expert would be drawn at once to the thematic coherence of the note, which links its portraits to the architectural subject on the reverse, creating a unified tribute to Argentine public health. The combination of Ramón Carrillo and Cecilia Grierson — a neurologist-turned-health minister and the country’s first female physician respectively — gives this denomination a distinctly progressive and historically layered character that sets it apart within the modern Argentine series.

On the front, the dominant feature is a finely engraved double portrait rendered in detailed intaglio-style printing. On the left appears Ramón Carrillo, depicted wearing spectacles and a dark jacket, his expression composed and intellectual. To his right and slightly overlapping is Cecilia Grierson, shown with her hair swept up in a period style, her likeness rendered with comparable engraving precision. Both portraits are positioned centrally against a light background that transitions from pale cream at the left edge into soft coral and pink tones toward the right. Behind the portraits, an intricate geometric and guilloché background pattern is visible, incorporating fine interconnected lines suggestive of molecular or scientific structures — a deliberate nod to the medical theme. In the upper left, the issuing authority is printed in clear dark text reading “BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA.” The large denomination numeral “2000” appears in bold, deep teal-green ink in the lower left corner, rendered in a commanding sans-serif typeface. To the upper right, a green embossed security element is visible — an oval badge or holographic device bearing a stylised botanical or medical emblem in dark green. To its right, the denomination is expressed in words as “DOS MIL PESOS” in dark text, followed below by the names “Ramón Carrillo” and “Cecilia Grierson” printed in a smaller serif font identifying the portrayed figures. The right edge of the note features a vertical serial number and a repeating pattern consistent with a security border.

The reverse presents a highly detailed architectural engraving of the Instituto Nacional de Microbiología, identified by the text “INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE MICROBIOLOGÍA” printed prominently across the upper section of the building’s façade. A subsidiary inscription reads “PABELLÓN ‘CARLOS G. MALBRÁN'”, identifying the specific pavilion depicted. The building is rendered with considerable graphic precision, showing a symmetrical neoclassical or institutional façade with arched windows, decorative stonework, a central pediment, and ornamental detailing across multiple storeys. Below the architectural illustration, the legend “CASA DE MONEDA ARGENTINA” confirms the note was produced by Argentina’s official mint. In the upper right corner, the serial number “01005378 A” is printed in dark red-orange ink in a clear upright typeface. The same serial number appears vertically along the left margin. To the upper left, the text “REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA EN UNIÓN Y LIBERTAD” is printed in bold dark lettering. Below this, a block of smaller body text provides a descriptive passage about the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Instituto de Salud “Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán,” describing it as a decentralised public body of national and regional reference in sanitary, scientific-technological, teaching, and research matters — fundamental pillars of public health. In the lower right, two facsimile signatures appear alongside their printed titles, identifying the President and Vice-President of the Banco Central. A small hexagonal security element is visible mid-note, and the denomination numeral “2000” is repeated in bold teal at the lower right of the reverse.
