| Additional information |
The 1813 gold coinage of the Río de la Plata provinces was among the first autonomous emissions following the May Revolution of 1810, struck at the Potosí mint while that facility was still under patriot control — a situation that would not last. Royalist forces recaptured Potosí in 1813, ending production and making the entire autonomous gold series exceptionally short-lived.
The window for striking these pieces was a matter of months.
