ARS2,000 banknote for circulation

The banknote

The BCRA has launched an ARS2,000 banknote with additional security features.

The main new feature is a green security thread.

This banknote starts with the “E” series. It maintains the characteristics of the ARS2,000 commemorative banknote and will circulate alongside it. It will be gradually distributed through the network of bank branches across the country.

Security features

Design

This banknote is part of the “Heroines and Heroes of the Nation” series. It features the image of the Malbrán Institute and the portraits of Ramón Carrillo, MD, and Cecilia Grierson, MD, pioneers in the development of medicine and public health in Argentina. The main colors of the banknote—part of the current Peso Line—are dark gray and pink.

Obverse and reverse

One difference between this banknote and the commemorative banknote that was put into circulation in May 2023 is that the number 2000, on the obverse, has been moved to make room for the electrotype watermark of the characters’ initials. The reverse shows part of the main vignette with a different color, and the signatures in a different place.
