Coins belonging to the B-type entered circulation in 1993 and have design features similar to those of A-type banknotes. They are denominated in “new pesos”. A “new peso” is equivalent to 1000 pesos of the previous monetary unit.
Although currently some of these coins are in the process of being withdrawn from circulation, there are few pieces of this type that continue in circulation.
