General Juan Manuel Rosas was governor of Buenos Aires Provinces between 1835 to 1852 and was a principal leader of the federalists during 19th century until his defeat at Caseros.

This gold/diamond Medal is an unique version.

The Medal features an obverse inscription that translates to "Argentinian Republic to Liberator Urquiza," and a reverse inscription that translates to "Caseros February 3, 1852."
