Entre Rios Coin List
The province of Entre Ríos, located in northeastern Argentina, has a rich monetary history that reflects the political and economic changes of the region. During the 19th century, Entre Ríos minted its own coins, contributing to the numismatic diversity of the country and leaving a fascinating legacy for collectors and historians.
The historical context and the first mints
Entre Ríos, as part of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, experienced a period of significant autonomy in the early 19th century. Under the leadership of Francisco Ramírez, the province issued its first coins in 1820. These pieces, known as "décimos" and "cuartillos", were minted in copper and bore the coat of arms of the province on the obverse. The need for these issues arose from the scarcity of circulating currency and the desire to affirm provincial autonomy. These coins not only served as a means of exchange, but also symbolized the identity and sovereignty of Entre Ríos at a time of great political instability in the region.
Evolution and numismatic legacy
Throughout the 19th century, coinage in Entre Ríos continued to evolve. During the government of Justo José de Urquiza, new series of coins were issued, including higher quality silver and copper pieces. These coins, which circulated between 1840 and 1860, featured more elaborate designs and reflected the growing prosperity of the province. A notable aspect of these issues was the inclusion of provincial and national symbols, evidencing the complex relationship between provincial autonomy and the emerging national identity. The numismatic legacy of Entre Ríos is a valuable testimony to its history, offering a unique window into the political, economic and cultural dynamics of 19th century Argentina. Today, these coins are highly valued by collectors and represent an important chapter in the country's monetary history.
