About this plate
THE ONE-BACK ARGENTINE PLATE, three letters, three digits, white on matt black, "ARGENTINA" along the top. The end is far better evidenced: 1 April 2016 by Disposición 411/2015 as deferred by 659/2015 and confirmed in the past tense by 232/2016, with old-stock issuance continuing after that date under Circulares D.N. Nros. 3/16 and 4/16.
How numbers are issued
Letter group ascending. Two dated waypoints are primary and both are useful for era inference: (a) Circular D.N. N° 23/11, "A partir del dominio KQG-000 las placas contienen adherido al film retroreflectivo que recubre la placa el holograma tridimensional ubicado en el extremo superior derecho, que contiene imágenes y nanotexto", so a plate at or after KQG-000 is 2011 or later; (b) Disposición D.N. N° 232/2016 records that the last new-registration stock left over in 2016 began with the letter "P".
