80th Anniversary of the Creation of the Central Bank
The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic issued a commemorative coin to evoke the 80th anniversary of its creation, whose design replicates the 50-cent piece of national silver coin known as “Medio Patacón”.
1 Peso
Obverse motif
In its central imprint, the Argentine coat of arms can be seen flanked on both sides by a total of 14 flags, which symbolize the provincial division of that time; and two cannons finish the framing of the design.
In the upper arch, it reads “CENTRAL BANK OF THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC”, and in the lower one “80th ANNIVERSARY 1935 – 2015”.
Motif on the back
It reproduces in the center the effigy of Liberty, created by the French sculptor and engraver Eugéne André Oudiné. On the upper arch, the face value “ONE PESO” is distinguished, and on the lower one the year of minting “2015”.
