Overview

  • The Banco Central de la República Argentina confirmed the 2,500 silver coins priced at ARS 235,000 are no longer on sale after demand exceeded expectations.
  • President Santiago Bausili said on X, “Vamos a hacer más,” signaling additional editions following the rapid sell-out.
  • Purchasers who completed payment can collect their coins at the BCRA numismatic stand at Reconquista 250, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 14:00.
  • The silver 925 coin (27 g, 40 mm) depicts the sequence of the 1986 second goal against England, carries a symbolic face value of $10 and the year 2025, and features FIFA World Cup 2026 inscriptions.
  • The issue was struck by Spain’s Real Casa de Moneda, with 2,500 silver units for Argentina and 750 gold pieces designated for international sale, while the omission of Diego Maradona’s name in official materials drew criticism.
