Argentina 25 peso Ship Presidente Sarmiento proof silver coin 2002

The Argentina 25 Pesos silver coin of 2002 pays tribute to the legendary training ship Fragata A.R.A. Presidente Sarmiento, an icon of the nation’s naval history. On the obverse, the vessel appears in full sail, cutting through the waves with impressive detail, framed by five-pointed stars. The inscription FRAGATA A.R.A. PTE. SARMIENTO honors the ship, which served as the first modern training ship of the Argentine Navy and carried the flag across the world in the early 20th century. The reverse highlights the broader Ibero-American context: Argentina’s national coat of arms, crowned by the radiant sun, is placed at the center, encircled by the coats of arms of other Ibero-American nations, symbolizing unity and shared heritage. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA ARGENTINA, with the denomination $25 and the year 2002 inscribed below. Struck in silver to proof quality, this coin offers brilliant detail and mirror-like fields, making it both a work of art and a historical memento. For collectors of naval history, Latin American coinage, and rare proofs, this issue is a highly desirable centerpiece.
