Numismatic Issues

The Central Bank of Argentina has as its primary and fundamental mission the preservation of the value of the currency, developing a monetary and financial policy directed towards preserving all the functions of money, as disposed by its Charter (Law No. 24,144/92). It also has among its faculties that of minting coins with numismatic or conmemorative value, which may be subject to different dispositions to the issues of current bills and coins. In the last few years the issue of commemorative Argentine coins related to important national or international events has increased notably. Among these it is worth mentioning the Ibero-american Series, minted simultaneously with other nations, with themes such as the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America (1991), Native Fauna in Danger of Extinction (1994) and Typical Dances and Costumes (1997); also, the fiftieth anniversaries of the United Nations (UN - 1995) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF - 1996). The issues of national interest have been those commemorating the Constitutional Reform carried out by the National Constituent Convention in 1994 and the fiftieth anniversary of Law Number 13,010 which provided for Obligatory Voting for Women, with the effigy of Eva Peron, who supported the law which recognizes the political rights of women.
