Comment

The design was done by a team of professionals from that city, made up of graduates Silvia Brun, Laura de la Torre and visual designers Verónica Godoy, Gerardo Hayes, Liliana Madueño, Verónica Quercia and Javier Rubina, who considered "EL PETROLEO, EL WIND, THE SEA AND THE EARTH ", as" ENERGY ", common denominator and characteristic resource of the place, that amalgamates different cultures, coming from different parts of the world and even from different parts of the country. They represented the breadth of the landscape and growth as an idea of progress.
These pieces were minted in the Sociedad de la Estado de Moneda in Argentina and the note and coin recorders Ms. Monica P. Galera and Mr. Juan D. Castillo participated.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Comodoro Rivadavia, a city located in the Patagonia region of Argentina. The coin's design features an image of the city's founder, Manuel Rivadavia, on one side, and the coat of arms of Comodoro Rivadavia on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Argentine history and culture.
