I really love the Bolivia coinage of this era. Here is my example of the "sun/llama" scene. :) Forgive the image quality, these are 5+ years...
The mid-1960s. @Jaelus looked in a Hungarian reference work that quotes it at mintage of 2,080 I believe.
Finally got her in hand and had a chance to photograph... [IMG]
WooHoo! LordM, that's my Conder, that I photographed for the Wikipedia page! :) He's now in an NGC MS63RB holder. :) [IMG] -Brandon
I just wanted to follow-up here... @princeofwaldo , that coin is truly superb. I'd personally leave it alone in its current holder. The PCGS...
