| Obverse description | The central field depicts the main entrance portal of the Banco Central de la República Argentina building at Reconquista 266, rendered in detailed relief. Flanking the architectural motif are two commemorative dates: to the left, the institution's founding date '31·V·1935', and to the right, the 75th anniversary date '31·V·2010'. The legend 'BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA' curves along the lower arc of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Banco Central de la República Argentina was established in 1935, absorbing the functions of the Caja de Conversión and the Banco de la Nación Argentina's note-issuing role following recommendations from the Niemeyer Mission — a British advisory commission brought in specifically to stabilize Argentina's monetary system after the shocks of the Great Depression. The bank opened its doors on May 31st of that year, a date this 2010 commemorative marks exactly 75 years later.
Gold commemoratives from the BCRA are struck in extremely limited quantities and rarely enter circulation.
