Entre Ríos struck its own coinage in 1867 under the authority of Governor Justo José de Urquiza, one of the last Argentine provincial issues before federal monetary consolidation effectively ended regional minting. The province had long resisted Buenos Aires' centralizing ambitions — Urquiza had defeated Rosas at Caseros in 1852 — and this coinage carries the political weight of a provincial strongman asserting local prerogative in the face of increasing national uniformity.
The series was short-lived. Argentina's national monetary framework rendered provincial issues obsolete within years, making the 1867 Entre Ríos fractionals among the scarcer survivals from Argentina's federalist coinage period.
