Fabulous 15 "Tango"

Obverse

It presents in central position the Argentine National Shield, in the upper arch the inscription "REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA" and in the lower arch, the year of coinage "2013".

Lettering:
REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA
2013

Reverse

It is seen in the foreground the representation of a typical tango postcard, dancing couple in a step of the sensuality of the 2x4 on the paved ground; She wearing her skirt with a cut and he crowned with the "funyi". The fund, as a hyperbole, presents the emblematic instrument of the Buenos Aires musical culture, the bandoneon, paying homage to the best exponents who have crossed this tradition. In the upper arch, "TANGO" is read, on the right it shows the face value "5 PESOS" and on the left the logo of the program Fabulosos 15 "F15". On the left field, the composition closes the Argentinean tape reminiscent of the art of filleting.

Lettering:
TANGO
