ARGENTINA - 1878 March 17: 20 centavo blue postage stamp depicting portrait of Dalmacio Vélez Sársfield (February 18, 1800 – June 30, 1875). He was an Argentine lawyer and politician who wrote the Civil Code of Argentina of 1869, which remained in force until 2015, when it was replaced by the new Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación. Mitre's election to the presidency in 1862 made Vélez Sarsfield the nation's Finance Minister. He obtained congressional passage in 1863 of the Commercial Code he had earlier created for Buenos Aires, and in 1864 began work on his landmark Civil Code
