The story

The surviving evidence establishes this unit of account, but a fuller narrative is still being developed. Its known connections are shown above; the research page documents what is established and what remains uncertain.

Turning points

Account-unit observation

Buenos Aires had a locally scoped peso moneda corriente distinct from strong silver reckoning, used in contracts and public instruments. Admission relies on distinct accounting and contractual discharge, not simply paper material or a new issuer. Early creation date remains open. [1]
