Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Boliviano (Copper Pattern) 1868 from Bolivia made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. Bolivia had declared its independence from Spain in 1825, but it struggled with political instability, economic struggles, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the country continued to mint coins, including the Pattern 1 Boliviano, which was intended to be used as a standard circulating coin but was never widely circulated. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining.
