A laurel-and-olive wreath encircles the design — representing glory and peace.

Historical context

• Part of the Peso Ley 18.188 monetary reform series introduced in 1960.

• Replaced the old peso moneda nacional at 100 to 1.

• The design highlights Argentina’s agrarian heritage rather than political imagery — fitting the post-Perón period.

• The Gaucho Resero statue (by Emilio Sarniguet, 1934) stands in the Mataderos district of Buenos Aires, historically the cattle-market area.
