| Additional information |
The Doma Criolla — the traditional Argentine gaucho horsebreaking — entered the Ibero-American commemorative series in 2000 as part of a thematic cycle that ran across multiple Latin American mints from 1992 onward, each nation contributing a subject drawn from indigenous or colonial-era cultural practice. Argentina's choice of the doma reflected a long-running cultural debate: the doma brava, in which the horse is broken through force, had by 2000 already begun losing ground to the doma racional, a gentler method championed by the horseman Félix Tschiffely and later popularized domestically by Roberto Luraguiz.
