Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅒ Boliviano coin from Bolivia (1864-1867) is that it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a indigenous person. The coin features a portrait of an indigenous woman on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of European monarchs or other colonial figures on coins. This design choice was a nod to the rich cultural heritage of Bolivia and a recognition of the country's indigenous population.
