The top left medallion (none are 'coins') is a pic of Simón de Iriondo (1836–1883), an Argentinian politician of the National Autonomist Party, who was twice governor of the province of Santa Fe, from 1871 to 1874 and from 1878 to 1882.

Iriondo was also the Government Minister of governor Mariano Cabal and part of the cabinet of President Nicolás Avellaneda. After his second term in office, in 1883, he was appointed senator.

As a governor, Iriondo supported the policy of colonization, as Santa Fe was scarcely populated at the time except for the large cities of Santa Fe and Rosario on the banks of the Paraná River. He founded a colony in the north of the province which become the present-day city of Reconquista.

His administration amended the Provincial Constitution of 1863, and created public libraries in Santa Fe, Rosario, San Carlos and Coronda.
The medallion commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth from the province of Santa Fe.

Don........

Excellent ID, Mackaydon. I thought it was cool I'm seeing it on the 28 of October. The literal translation of the back is: TRIBUTE of the province of Santa Fe in the centenary of his birth. I saw one like this, made of bronze and 'piana gotuzzo' (you got me on that one; might be a trade name for a metal). Go to www.articulo.deremate.com.ar. (I think that's right) It's more silver looking than yours but the guy is trying to sell it for $120. I like the 16 to 1 medallion. Neat finds.
