These old pesos are very valuable foreign coins, not as much because of their age, but rather because of their high gold content. It was only in 1875 that they started to be minted as gold coins of 0.900 fineness containing 1.5 gram of the precious metal. Pesos have been introduced in Argentina in 1826 as banknotes.
