“El Sitio” Nº 9 contains, in its 20 pages, three numismatic articles, a note on an exposition and conference, and the Chronic of the Uruguayan Convention of Numismatic 2013; this latter, key issue of the journal. The Convention was held on October 19th in the Club Español (Spanish Club) in Montevideo city, the capital of Uruguay. This was the first Convention in Uruguay after an extremely long period of time, and made that more than 300 people (collectors, numismatists and sellers of Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil) gathered together with the aim of meeting and sharing the passion for numismatics.

The cover of “El Sitio” Nº 9 shows the picture of the obverse of the medal commemorating the Uruguayan Convention of Numismatic 2013, made by the famous house mint Tammaro, founded in 1885 still an emblematic business nowadays.

The three published articles are the following:

• The 1903 Medal remembering a soccer feat of the National Club of Football, by Juan José Melos Prieto.
• The medals of Confitería Irisarri in Minas, by Daniel Padula.
• The tokens of the Soba Runch in Río Negro, by Daniel Fernández Calvo.

The numismatics exposition, that took place in the head office of the Instituto Uruguayo de Numimática, was about cobs coins and its speaker was Carlos Deambrosis.
