La Rioja's 2003 emergency issue belongs to the chaotic post-2001 provincial quasimoneda wave, when Argentine provinces — cut off from federal transfers and unable to access dollars after the convertibility collapse — printed their own scrip to pay salaries and suppliers. La Rioja called its notes Riojanos, and they circulated uncomfortably alongside federal patacones, lecops, and a dozen other provincial instruments.
Maza was governor through the worst of the crisis years. The dual signature structure here — governor plus a coordinating minister rather than a finance official — reflects how improvised the institutional arrangements were.
