ARGENTINA, medals
    Argentina started making proclamation medals during the colonial period.  Through the 19th century the issuing profile resembled that of other South American nations: moderate production of both official and private products.  From the 1880s to the 1920s however, a few medal production companies produced an astounding number of medals for government and private parties.  There are hundreds if not thousands of types.  The artistic and mechanical quality of these medals is extremely good.  There is no good reference for these medals.
