Celebrate a Legacy of Freedom with a Collectible Coin Now Available in India at Just ₹40!
In 2016, Argentina celebrated a monumental milestone: 200 years since the signing of its Declaration of Independence. On July 9, 1816, representatives from the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata gathered in San Miguel de Tucumán to officially sever ties with Spanish colonial rule. This historic act followed the May Revolution of 1810 and became a defining moment in Argentina’s nationhood.
Fast forward to 2016, and the country came together in an extraordinary celebration of its bicentennial of independence, marked by patriotic parades, cultural showcases, military displays, and official ceremonies across the nation — especially at the historic Casa Histórica de Tucumán where the declaration was originally signed.
🪙 Commemorative 2 Pesos Coin: A Symbol of Unity and Freedom
As part of this national celebration, the Central Bank of Argentina released a bi-metallic 2 Pesos coin on July 7, 2016, specifically designed to honor this bicentennial moment. The coin is rich in symbolism, aesthetics, and historic significance.
