| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed rendering of the arrayán flower to the right of center, accompanied by the year of issue below the floral motif. The upper legend arcs with the national motto EN UNIÓN Y LIBERTAD, while the denomination 5 PESOS is prominently placed in the lower field, evoking the Patagonian region with which the arrayán is most closely associated. The overall composition reflects the Ibero-American flora and fauna commemorative series themes. |

| Additional information |
This issue replaced the aluminium bronze 5 peso coin that had circulated since 1994, part of a broader Argentine mint retooling driven by chronic metal cost inflation and repeated shortages of circulating coinage through the 2010s. The switch to nickel-plated steel brought production costs down substantially at a time when the peso itself was losing value fast enough that the face value of the old coin's metal content was becoming a practical concern.
