Hm... It"s strange.

 

Here's another Bolivian 50 centavos, from 1873. The hill behind the llama obverse is Potosi, the famous silver deposit that has been mined for the metal since the 1500's.

 

Hello Siberian Man,

My personal favorite of your Bolivian coins is the 1830 2 Soles coin. Your coin is a very nice example.

 

... and not very expensive - 40$ in Russia.

 

Here's one of mine;

1833 Bolivia PTS (Potosi) 8 Soles CH UNC

 

And another...

1865 1/2 Melgarejo Bolivia PTS (Potosi) CH UNC

Melgarejo was a Caudillo, a Dictator of the worst kind!

 

Gotta love the llamas. Peru has similarly nice coins with Lady Liberty obverses that are really nice. I only have example.

50 centavos 1904, silver .900, weight - 12,5 g.
