5 Pesos 75th Anniversary of B.C.R.A.

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.
