25 Pesos Ibero-American Series - Sarmiento Frigate

The ARA Presidente Sarmiento served as Argentina's naval training ship from 1898 until 1961, completing 39 training voyages and visiting ports across Europe, the Americas, and beyond — accumulating more nautical miles under sail than virtually any comparable vessel of her era. She now sits permanently moored in Buenos Aires as a museum ship. This 2002 coin belongs to the Ibero-American series, a multi-nation program coordinated among Latin American and Iberian mints beginning in 1991, with each participating country issuing a silver piece on a shared theme.
