Issued to mark the 1994 constitutional reform that permitted Carlos Menem's reelection — a provision he had aggressively lobbied for — this piece commemorates the Pacto de Olivos, the behind-closed-doors agreement between Menem and former president Alfonsín that made the convention possible. The reform session met in Santa Fe and Paraná simultaneously, a procedural split carrying symbolic weight from Argentina's federalist conflicts of the nineteenth century.
The bimetallic format was still a relative novelty in Argentine coinage at the time of striking.
