EL SITIO NO. 19 PUBLISHED

“El Sitio” N° 19 contains, in its 32 pages, four numismatic articles about different issues.

The first article, “Las monedas paraguayas de 1870: ¿quién era Shaw?” (“The Paraguayan coins of 1870: who was Shaw?”) by Horacio Morero, studies Shaw as the contractor for the minting of these coins, including the genealogy of his family. The relevant conclusion is that Shaw wasn’t the “engraver” of the 1870 Paraguayan coins as some books tell us, but the “contractor”. The cover of “El Sitio” N° 19 shows indeed the picture of the 4 centesimos 1870 Paraguay coin with the inscription SHAW at five o'clock in the border of the flan.

The second one, by Nicolás Santerini, presents two unknown bimetallic Uruguayan trials: 1994 $ 5 and 1994 $ 10 struck probably in Argentina.

Sebastián Aguilera, in the third article tells us about the emergency money issued in the Province of Westfalia, showing interesting pictures of those “Notgeld” coins.

The last article, also written by Horacio Morero, is about shearing tokens. Here, the author follows the path of his previous work identifying ranch tokens.

In addition, “El Sitio” gives us information about the “Jornadas Uruguayas de Numismática 2016” that will take place on October 15 th and 16 th at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Montevideo, Uruguay.
