Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin was designed by the renowned Argentine artist and sculptor, Luis Perlotti, who was known for his work in creating sculptures and monuments throughout Argentina. The coin features a portrait of Juan Manuel de Rosas, a former governor of Buenos Aires Province, on the obverse, and a depiction of the Argentine coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1943, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
