Córdoba Coin List
The monetary history of Córdoba, Argentina, is a fascinating reflection of its economic and political development from colonial times to the present day. Coins minted in this province have been silent witnesses of important historical changes and events, offering a unique window into the evolution of the region.
Colonial times and first mints
During the colonial period, Córdoba depended mainly on coins minted in Potosí, the great mining center of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. However, the scarcity of circulating currency led to the creation of coins of local necessity, known as "macuquinas". These pieces, of irregular shape and minted with a hammer, circulated widely in the region. With independence and the formation of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, Cordoba began to issue its own provincial coins in 1815, which featured unique designs that reflected the province's identity and autonomy.
Cordoba's 19th century coins and their legacy
The 19th century witnessed a great variety of monetary issues in Córdoba. Of particular note were the copper coins of 1844, which bore the inscription "Province of Cordoba" and displayed the provincial coat of arms. These pieces are highly valued by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. The Cordoba Mint, established in 1573, played a crucial role in the minting of these local coins until the Argentine monetary unification in 1881. Although the production of provincial coins ceased, the numismatic legacy of Córdoba endures, being a valuable testimony of the provincial autonomy and economic evolution of the region. Today, these coins are coveted by collectors and studied by historians as important artifacts of Argentine history.
