1 Real Provincial coat of arms

Córdoba's provincial coinage of this period was issued under the authority of the local caudillo government, operating entirely outside the intermittent attempts at Buenos Aires to impose a unified Argentine monetary system. The 1840 date places this piece squarely within the extended civil conflict between Federalists and Unitarians, when provincial mints across the interior struck their own silver rather than accept fiscal subordination to the coast.

CJ#14.1 distinguishes this among known die marriages for the type — Cunietti-Ferrando's cataloguing of Córdoba provincial issues remains the primary reference for separating the varieties.
