Obv: Juan de Garay and his men, with the shields of Castile & Buenos Aires.

Rev: dedication to the founder Juan de Garay.

Juan de Garay (1528 - 1583) was a Spanish Conquistador. Garay's birthplace is disputed. Some say it was in the Castile city of Junta de Villarta de Losa, while others argue he was born in the area of Orduña (Basque Country). There's no birth certification whatsoever, though Juan De Garay regarded himself as somebody from Biscay (a region from the Basque Country). He served under the Crown of Castile, in the Viceroyalty of Peru. He was governor of Asuncion (present day Paraguay) and founded a number of cities in present-day Argentina, many near the Parana River area, including the second foundation of Buenos Aires, in 1580.
