[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1160681, member: 5739"][b]~ Venezuelan Silver Coins ~[/b] ---------- -Okay, in the first photo here, is a 1935 Un Bolivar (5 grams) next to a 1900 5 Bolivares, the second photo is of the reverse of the 1900 5 Bolivares. -Next is a pic of the reverse of a 1945 50 Centimos (Medio-Bolivar) (2.5 grams). -Next is a pic of the reverse of a beautifully toned 1954 50 Centimos (Medio-Bolivar) (2.5 grams). -The Next pics are of another 1954 50 Centimos (Medio-Bolivar), but a different one without any toning and in great shape, with just a tiny dark spot on the reverse at 10-11 o'clock. You can see how they changed the design of the 50 Centimos (medio-Bolivar) between the 1945 and the 1954 issues I have posted, the 1945 doesn't have a denomination on the reverse, just weight, date and fineness of silver, the 1954 ones have all the same titles, along with the words '50 Centimos' The coat of arms is also a little less flashy, without the cornucopiae on top and branches on either side, and the writing on the scrolls below the coat of arms. I think I like the 1945 style more, but the 1954 style has a simple elegance about it..... so I like them all. I wish my 1900 5 Bolivares Crown was in better shape, but I got it for melt value about 7 years ago. -------- -------- Hope you South American collectors out there like them. :)[/QUOTE]
