| Additional information |
Córdoba's provincial coinage of the early 1840s existed in direct defiance of Buenos Aires's long-running push to centralize Argentine monetary authority. The province maintained its own mint and issued silver reales well into the decade precisely because no effective federal structure yet compelled otherwise — the Argentine Confederation under Rosas left provincial fiscal autonomy largely intact in practice, whatever the constitutional rhetoric suggested.
The multiple CJ variety numbers assigned to this single year reflect genuine die differences documented by collectors, not clerical redundancy.
