Argentina-Provinces - Buenos Aires Coins
Argentina's recent monetary history has been marked by periods of economic instability and frequent changes in its currency. From the introduction of the Argentine peso in 1992 to the present, the country has experienced several financial crises that have had a significant impact on its monetary system and numismatic collecting.
The Argentine peso and its denominations
The Argentine peso, introduced in 1992, replaced the austral at a ratio of 1 peso = 10,000 australes. Initially, coins of 1, 5, 10, 10, 25 and 50 cents, and 1 peso were issued . Over time, due to inflation, higher denomination bills were introduced, reaching up to 1,000 pesos in 2017. For collectors, commemorative series, such as the 1978 World Cup coins or those dedicated to national heroes, are particularly valued.
Provincial issues and emergency bonds
During economic crises, especially in 2001-2002, several Argentine provinces issued their own quasi-currencies or emergency bonds. These include the "Patacón" of Buenos Aires, the "Lecop" at the national level, and the "Cecacor" of Corrientes, among others. These provincial issues have become pieces of great interest to numismatists, representing a unique period in Argentine monetary history. In addition, coins and banknotes from the hyperinflation era of the late 80's and early 90's are also highly sought after by collectors, due to their high denominations and short circulation period.
