Pianura
The reverse inscription is wrong, for a couple of reasons. Francisco José Daniel Cerri was born in Bergamo (Lombardia) Italy on Sept. 20, 1841. However, he only left home in 1858 (at 17). His military career with the Italian Military Legion, which was stationed in a town near Bahía Blanca appears to have only started in 1858. He rose through the ranks till on July 27, 1890 he reached the rank of Brigadier General, which was unheard of for a “foreigner”.
There is a silver example of this medal as well at https://moviarg.com/medalla.php?CodMov=TXBK
It's also relevant to note that a town next to Bahía Blanca was named for him.
