Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Argentina. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Juan Manuel de Rosas, a former governor of Buenos Aires Province, while the reverse side shows a horse and a cow, representing the country's rich agricultural history. The coin's design was created by artist and sculptor, Luis Perlotti, and it was minted in 1993 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype.
