EL SITIO NO. 18 PUBLISHED

“El Sitio” N° 18 contains, in its 28 pages, three articles about different numismatic issues.

The first article, “Identificación de la letra monetaria ‘H’ de las monedas de cobre de 1869”, was written by Gustavo Pigurina and it is related to the Uruguayan coins struck in 1869 in three monetary values: 1, 2 and 4 centésimos. Those coins have the letter H of the mint, and Pigurina presents a document (showed in the cover of “El Sitio”) that definitively confirms that the H is the identification of the Birmingham Mint (former Heaton Mint), not the Rochelle mint as some people have claimed.

Parque Munich tokens

The second article, written by Horacio Morero Ferrero, “Las fichas (uruguayas) del Parque Munich”, presents the history and catalogues the tokens of the famous Parque Munich in Montevideo, a popular beer park during the 30, 40 and 50 years of the 20th Century. The investigation of Morero confirms the Uruguayan origin of these tokens and erases all doubts about it (they were catalogued by error as Argentinian tokens in the Rulau Catalogue).

The third article reviews the circulating coins during the XVII and XVIII centuries in the “Banca Oriental” (today, Uruguay). This interesting chronicle, “La moneda circulante en la Banda Oriental y el anatema del Vicario Barrales”, was written by Pedro Damián Cano Borrego.

“El Sitio” announces as well the “Jornadas Uruguayas de Numismatica 2016”. The Jornadas welcome all international numismatic collectors and sellers and will be held this year in October 15th and 16th, in the Holiday Inn Hotel, Colonia 823, Montevideo, Uruguay.
