| Additional information |
Argentina's return to elected civilian government in December 1983 — ending seven years of military dictatorship responsible for the forced disappearance of an estimated 30,000 people — has been commemorated intermittently by the Casa de Moneda, but the 40th anniversary issue marks the longest such interval yet. The Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, as the junta styled itself, had also presided over the Falklands/Malvinas defeat of 1982, an embarrassment that accelerated the regime's collapse more than any internal opposition managed to.
KM#194 is among a cluster of .900 silver commemoratives the Casa de Moneda issued in 2023, a year in which Argentina's official mint was itself operating under severe fiscal pressure from triple-digit national inflation.
