Argentina Unveil New Currency Note to commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the invasion of Falklands

Argentina has launched a new 50-peso currency note featuring a map of the Falkland Islands to commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the invasion of the British archipelago. 

The Falklands War

• 2 April 1982: Argentine forces invade Falkland Islands. Other British South Atlantic territories, including South Georgia, are seized shortly afterwards
• 5 April: A British task force of more than 100 ships sets sail for the South Atlantic
• 25 April: South Georgia is recaptured by British forces
• 21 May: Three thousand British troops begin landing at San Carlos on East Falkland
• 14 June: Argentine forces surrender. British troops march into Stanley

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said the Falklands were "Nato's military base" in the region.
British troops regained control of the archipelago after a 74-day war in which more than 900 people died.
Argentina claims sovereignty of the islands it calls Las Malvinas.

The new note is worth just under $7 (£4). On one side, it displays a map of the islands in the white and blue colours of the Argentine flag
