In 1983, coins for 1, 5, 10 and 50 centavos were issued. In 1984, the 50 centavos was again issued, alongside 1, 5 and 10 pesos argentinos. In 1985, 5, 10 and 50 pesos argentinos coins were struck.

When the austral was introduced (June 15th, 1985), some 1000, 5000 and 10,000 pesos argentinos notes were overstamped with A 1 (1 austral), A 5 (5 australes) and A 10 (10 australes), respectively.
