2 Pesos 25th Anniversary of the South Atlantic War, reeded Edge

Argentina's 1982 South Atlantic War — the Falklands conflict — lasted 74 days and ended in a military surrender that accelerated the collapse of the Junta. The 25th anniversary fell during the Kirchner administration, which made recovering the Malvinas a centerpiece of national political identity. This coin was part of that official posture.

The KM#144.1 designation distinguishes this reeded-edge variant from the simultaneously issued plain-edge version (KM#144.2), a deliberate dual-issue decision that created two collectible types from a single commemorative program.
