Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Boliviano / 50 Centavos (Pattern) 1884 from Bolivia made of Silver (.900) is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1884 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately never adopted or produced in large quantities. As a result, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
