Abstract
Abstract:El artículo aborda la transición en la Casa de Moneda de Guanajuato de la Nueva España al México independiente. Presenta un estudio de las estrategias institucionales que permitieron a este centro de amonedación surgir, institucionalizarse y renovarse entre 1812 y 1825. El argumento central tiene dos partes. La primera enfatiza las circunstancias bélicas y políticas propias de la transición monetaria que desembocaron en la legalización de la casa de moneda. La segunda muestra que los primeros ensayos de gestión institucional de la casa de moneda –entre ellas el arrendamiento a una compañía extranjera– desembocaron en la renovación de la ceca sin un claro predominio de alguna de las partes involucradas. En diálogo con la historia económica se sostiene que el desgaste de la guerra de independencia incentivó iniciativas de institucionalización monetaria con facetas aún pendientes por estudiar.Abstract:This article focuses on the transition of the Guanajuato Mint from New Spain to independent Mexico.

期刊介绍:
The rich cultural production and unique peoples of Mexico--coupled with the country"s complex history, political legacy, social character, economy, and scientific development--lay the foundation for the bilingual Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos, the only U.S. published academic journal of its kind. Journal articles in both English and Spanish are welcomed from a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives and methodologies, comparative analyses notwithstanding. All content published remains focused on the contributions to and knowledge of Mexican studies as a discipline.
