Abstract

This article will analyze the attempt to create a new monetary standard in the province of Buenos Aires in the 1820s.

Ten years of war fueled a public debt that served as a means of payment in the region. Only with the financial reforms of 1821 was the initial step taken towards the creation of an Argentine national monetary space
