If you want a big coin from Venezuela this is the one... but why does it not note that its "5 Bolivar" anywhere on the coin? I would be interested in buying one, but I don't understand why there is no indication of the coin mint value. Most coins bear at least that, simply I get this is a 25 gram coin and its .900 pure. I have the 50 centimos piece already, but it at least shows the value on the coin. Any answers?
yes, but there is no indication that its 5 Bolivares on it... how does/did one exchange it with no indicator of currency. I get that it was either minted in Paris or USA... so I would definitely be interested.
Bolivar is the person pictured on the coin. "(Simon) Bolivar liberator." I don't know the why, but most of the Venezuelan silvers from this era do not show the denomination, only the weight. It's frustrating if you don't have a catalog to reference to figure out what it is exactly.
