| Additional information |
Argentina's post-Perón monetary reorganization drove several rapid coinage changes in the late 1950s. The nickel-clad steel composition here was a direct response to raw material costs and chronic metal shortages that plagued the mint in Buenos Aires following Perón's ouster in September 1955 and the economic turbulence of the provisional government years.
