1992 Argentina 25 Centavos Coin

This is a 1992 Argentina 25 centavos circulation coin, struck in aluminum-bronze, giving it a characteristic golden-yellow appearance. The coin measures approximately 24.2 mm in diameter and features a round shape with a reeded edge. The reverse side, visible in the image, displays a large numeral '25' prominently in the center, with the word 'centavos' positioned directly underneath it and the mintage year '1992' at the base within a circular border of decorative dots. In terms of condition, the coin shows significant signs of age and circulation. There is a noticeable dark patina and surface oxidation across the fields, with deeper accumulation of grime and wear around the raised lettering and numerals. Numerous fine scratches and small surface abrasions are visible, particularly on the relief of the '25'. The rim displays minor nicks consistent with being carried in a pocket or purse. This coin belongs to the 'Peso Convertible' period of Argentine currency, a era defined by the stability of the 1 to 1 exchange rate with the US dollar under the convertibility law. Despite the heavy wear, all legends and the date remain clearly legible, though the high-relief areas have been somewhat flattened by use.
