Below are the three commemorative notes of 2000 pesos released in 2023 and 2024. These notes were issued to celebrate the country's development of Science and Medicine. All notes are undated but were introduced on 22.05.2023 (Series A) and 08.11.2023 (Series E) and in 2024 (P suffix). Whilst the theme for these two notes are the same, the designs are not quite identical.

1) The denomination value of 2000 is printed on the top left corner;
2) The windowed security thread is added;
3) The denomination value of 2000 in vertical is added between the windowed security thread and the portrait of Dr. Ramon Carrillo;
4) To the far top right corner, the value of 2000 is added to the green shield.
5) The initials of RC and CG are added to the watermarks
Back
1) The two signatures have shifted from the bottom right to the top right

Dr. Cecilia Grierson's ancestry is Scottish. Her paternal grandfather was among the Scottish colonists who first arrived in Argentina in 1825. During her lifetime and as a woman, she faced many challenges and oppositions when it came to enrollment into medical school. Because of discrimination, women were not allowed to study medicine in four major universities in the country. In order for her to get into medical school, she had to provide written justifications for the motivation in pursuing her dream. She graduated in 1889 and became the first woman in Argentina to earn a Medical degree. On 22.11.2016, Google celebrated her 157th birthday with a Google Doodle.
