Numismatic:\u00a0 Argentine Ancient Coins
\n<\/u><\/b><\/h2>\nAfter the pronouncement of May 1810, Buenos Aires and the other provinces of the R\u00edo de la Plata began the campaign of independence, sending expeditions to the High Peru, focus of realistic resistance. The Argentines<\/a> took the Imperial Villa of Potosi with their mint. Coins were minted in 1810, 1813 and 1815: the last two occupations were important from the monetary point of view, since the type that was issued until then with the real bust and Hispanic emblems<\/a> – was changed by new coins that bore the symbols patriotic Union and Freedom.\u00a0The same happened in the Philippines with coins minted in America<\/a>, which were countermarked\n

The patriotic victory of Salta<\/strong> in February 1813, left the free passage to the Argentine Auxiliary Army under the command of General Manuel Belgrano on May 7 of that year occupy Potos\u00ed.<\/strong> This city had been evacuated by March 10.\u00a0 The Casa de Moneda<\/strong> was the object of greater attention, rehabilitating it, as the realists had plundered it by destroying materials, books and documents. In Buenos Aires, the General Constituent Assembly receives a draft from the Deputy Dr. Pedro J. de Agrelo<\/strong> that proposes, as an eminently political measure, the minting of an independent type of currency.

Were coined in gold in the values \u200b\u200bof 8, 2 and 1 escudos<\/strong>, and in silver<\/strong> in 8, 4, 2, 1 and \u00bd reales. There is no proof that shields of four have been sealed. Many officers of the Mint fled and for this reason they had to ascend to junior officers. Almost all were not trained enough to exercise the new positions, having committed many faults.<\/p>\n

For example, the 2nd officer Pedro Venavidez was promoted to Mayor coiner and the office of assayer was entrusted to Jos\u00e9 Antonio de Sierra<\/a>. It began with the minting of silver coins at the end of June. The pieces of gold<\/a> are today of great rarity; Silver minting, on the other hand, was abundant in all values.<\/p>\n

\nThey also have the PTS monogram<\/a> that identifies the Potosi mint. The initial J. corresponds to the assayer <\/a>Jos\u00e9 Antonio de Sierra. The song of the silver coins has the shape of laurel leaves, while that of the gold pieces is obliquely striated.\n

 <\/p>\n\tThe last delivery of Coins was made on November 18, 1813, the same day that General Belgrano began his strategic withdrawal to Jujuy after the defeat in the Battle of Ayohuma<\/a>. Many of the offices of the Casa de Moneda<\/strong> were destroyed with the purpose of depriving the Spanish Realists of a quick issuance of Coins, who only on December 9 could restart the coinage with the bust of Fernando VII.\n

\nOn December 22, 1813, a notice was published, ordering the exchange of all the coins that were sealed for the Provinces of the R\u00edo de la Plata by those that had the bust of the King<\/a>, giving a term of three days to the neighbors of the Villa Imperial de Potosi and three months to the neighbors of the nearby Provinces. But the population was reluctant to surrender, foreseeing a new occupation of Argentine troops. That happened in April of 1815; then the units commanded by General Jose Rondeau<\/strong> reconquered Potosi and the old mint again coined national currencies. On this occasion only pieces of silver were issued with the value in reais. Then, in the middle<\/a> of the same year, a similar series was developed but with the value expressed in soles.\n\u00a0\"\" \"\"<\/b>\n

 <\/p>\nThe change coincided with the entry into operation of a new assayer,<\/a><\/strong> as it was not possible to count on Sierra, who had acted in 1813. Because of this circumstance, the reals of 1815 show the initial F. corresponding to Francisco Jos\u00e9 de Matos<\/em>.
\nIn the denominated currencies soles of the same year, the F. appears accompanied of an L. by Leandro Ozio. <\/em>Both improvised assayers and for that reason the coins of 1815 are of lower quality than fine established in the ordinances.\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe qualified engraving revolutionary<\/a> authorities could not find either, because they fled they fled with the king’s troops and the office of minting had to be improvised with subordinate and amateur personnel<\/a>. In this regard, spelling errors are noted in the pieces of 8 reales, knowing one copy coined with the word PRORVINCIAS and another with PROVICIAS.\n

The coins of 1815 are more abundant than those of 1813<\/strong>. Their coinage ceased with the defeat of General Rondeau in the Battle of Sipe-Sipe<\/a> and the evacuation of Potosi which fell again into the hands of the Spaniards. Ten years later it became a city of the new Republic of Bolivia.<\/p>\nArgentine Ancient Coins:<\/strong> Enhene losing the mint of Potosi and the provinces of the High Peru, a remarkable<\/a> shortage of currencies took place in all the Argentine<\/strong> <\/a>North. The coins with the bust of the king disappeared from the market, leaving the old macuquinas, later falsified in great scale.
\nIt should be noted that, having been minted for the last time in Potosi in 1773, these cut coins still circulated: they could only be eradicated in the second half of the 19th century.\u00a0\n
