Interesting find Oscar. We find these coins sometimes in the US (at least in Ohio). I once read that basket makers in Asia used to attach these coins to baskets as decoration and exported them to the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s. That's how I believe they got to the US. Maybe that is how they also got to Argentina. They are very interesting finds! Congratulations and happy hunting.
