The 50 Pesos banknote issued in 1978 by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic represents a period of significant political and economic change during the military dictatorship. This uncirculated note features a portrait of Delfín Gallo, a prominent provincial politician and advocate of civil rights, accompanied by allegorical images symbolizing democracy and national heritage. Its intricate engraving and traditional security features make it a notable piece for collectors of Argentine history and numismatics.
