1/4 Real 10 Pointed Sun

Córdoba's fractional silver issues of the early 1850s were produced under provincial authority during a period when Argentina had no unified national monetary system — each province struck its own coinage, often to incompatible standards. The ten-pointed sun variety distinguishes this type from the closely related eight-pointed emission, a distinction that matters enormously for attribution and has historically caused misidentification in general South American collections.
