Argentina-Provinces Coin List
During the 19th century, in the midst of the transition after independence from Spain, the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata faced the need to create their own currency to replace the colonial pieces and allow for a more autonomous economic system. Between 1813 and 1862, in a context of conflicts between centralists and federalists, each province began to issue its own coins to meet local needs, solve cash shortages and assert its political identity. These coins reflect the fragmentation of the young nation and the aspirations of the regions at a crucial moment in their history.
Provincial Issues: Uniqueness and Variety
Provinces such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Entre Ríos, Mendoza, La Rioja, Catamarca, Salta, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero and the Argentine Confederation minted coins, using mainly silver and copper. The designs of these pieces varied widely: from patriotic symbols such as the radiant sun and provincial coats of arms to figures of native animals, such as the emblematic llama of La Rioja. The quality of the coins depended on the technical resources of each province, resulting in coins with rustic finishes but of great historical value. These pieces, in addition to fulfilling an economic role, symbolize the political and cultural diversity of Argentina in its first steps towards national consolidation.
