$1000 Banknote | José de San Martín
Design
The $1000 banknote featuring the image of José de San Martín is part of the Heroes and Heroines of the Homeland series.
On the front side, there is a portrait of José de San Martín. This image originates from the lithograph by Juan Bautista Madou, which has been the basis for most engravings on the bills, depicting General San Martín as a young man in uniform.
The reverse side is an artistic representation of the Crossing of the Andes, which began on January 17, 1817.
One of the main innovations of the banknote is its horizontal reading format on both sides.

Design at the service of security
The commemorative 1000 pesos banknote combines a century-long expertise in artistic techniques and cutting-edge technology dedicated to security. Among the implemented measures, notable features include a watermark reproducing the portrait of José de San Martín and his initials JSM, microprints, latent image, complementary front-to-back motif, and magnetic, infrared, and luminescent inks. It is important to note that, in terms of accessibility, this banknote incorporates a new identification code for blind people through a new version of optical variable ink that provides a tactile sensation.
Father of the Nation, the Liberator, José de San Martín led the emancipatory campaings in Argentina, Chile, and Peru and is one of the most iconic and significant figures in the wars of Hispanic American independence.
