10 Centavos

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.
