Comment

The token was made with the matriceria of a mint from the province of Mendoza (the same that made chips for the harvest festival). The name of mint mark is "Matriceria cuyo"

It was used in the hunters club as a form of payment to enable the "release" of a pigeon and of course once released try to aim, in the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina.
After this, the pigeon and its remains were cleaned from the test field, and used to be cooked and incidentally recover the pellets they had left and thus be able to refill the shotgun cartridges.

El club de cazadores de Santiago del Estero was founded on November 24, 1938 for the practice of Shot-Flying.
It is an exclusive sports and recreational club for members. Currently still in operation.
