| Aanvullende informatie |
La Rioja, one of the fractious Argentine interior provinces, struck its own gold coinage during a period when no national monetary authority existed to prevent it. The 1840 issue falls squarely within the chaos of the Rosas era, when provincial autonomy was asserted as much through currency as through arms. Córdoba, Entre Ríos, and La Rioja each produced independent gold emissions with little coordination on fineness or weight standards.
The Farouk reference (Fr#9) places this among the rarest provincial Argentine golds tracked in international auction records.
