-Editor
El Sitio” N° 12 contains, in its 24 pages, four numismatic
articles, a note on the celebrations of the 59 years of the Instituto Uruguayo de Numismática and a
chronicle about a conference on the Tammaro House, an old medal and tokens mint situated in the
Ciudad Vieja of Montevideo city.
The cover of “El Sitio” N° 12 shows the picture of the obverse of a 50 centésimos La Giralda
token, made in Paris by Francis Cartaux. La Giralda was a famous bar (confitería) in Montevideo at
the beginning of the XXth century.
The four published articles are the following:
1) Francis Cartaux, graver and maker of the La Giralda token, by Horacio Morero Ferrero.
2) Schulman, Synonymous for Numismatic, by Javier Avilleira.
3) The special sets of the First Exposition of the Instituto Uruguayo de Numismática in 1957, by
Diego Artigalás.
4) New variety in the 1828 4 soles of La Rioja, by Horacio Morero.
The article on the Schulman family of coin dealers is extensive and
well-illustrated. Below are a couple images of Schulman medals. -Editor
