| Obverse description | The Argentine national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a horizontally divided oval shield with alternating azure and argent horizontal stripes in the upper half and a rising sun above, flanked symmetrically by two laurel branches tied at the base. A radiant sun in glory rises above the shield's chief, emitting alternating straight and wavy rays. The circular legend REPUBLICA ARGENTINA runs along the lower periphery, divided to the left and right of the device in upright Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Argentina's mid-1980s coinage exists almost entirely as an artifact of monetary collapse. The austral replaced the peso argentino in June 1985 — itself only introduced in 1983 to replace the hyperinflation-ravaged peso — making this brass series obsolete almost as soon as it was struck. Coins of this type circulated so briefly and so marginally that the distinction between an uncirculated example and a lightly circulated one is often negligible.
