2 Reales

Tucumán's 2 Reales of 1820–1821 was struck during the most chaotic stretch of Argentine provincial history — the so-called "Year of Anarchy," when the central government dissolved entirely and at least twenty governors cycled through Buenos Aires in a single year. Tucumán, like several other interior provinces, effectively operated as an independent entity and issued its own coinage out of fiscal necessity rather than political ambition.

KM#1 designation confirms this as the province's inaugural coinage type. Surviving examples are scarce; the emission was short-lived and local circulation was hard on silver of this weight.
