1 Millon por 100 Pesos Argentina. San Martín 1978-1979. Moneda difícil y Cara.

After watching this video, run to your grandfather's house and look in that jar of old coins to see if he has one of these. They are highly sought after by collectors and are very valuable. These coins were minted in 1979 and are currently somewhat difficult to find due to their unique characteristics. The error occurred in 1978 and 1979 when the Mint decided to participate in the celebrations for the bicentennial of José de San Martín's birth. With a face value of 100 pesos, they featured the figure of the national hero on their obverse with the dates 1778 and 1978, while the reverse features the year they were minted. The two hybrid versions have different values ​​in coin shops and auction houses. The coins are made of aluminum-bronze alloy, weigh approximately 8 grams, and have a diameter of 27 mm. The coins that have the number 100 and 1978 as the year of minting on one side and San Martín with a laurel wreath on the other are the least valuable. One was auctioned last year for US$600. The other version, which has the number 100 and 1979 as the year of minting on one side and San Martín on the other, along with the dates "1778 and 1978," which should have been used only during the previous year, are even rarer. And although there are no recent auctions, the catalog estimates the value at US$1,250. #numismatica
