Comment
This coin and 2 Centésimos 1864, KM# 148 were the only Bolivian coins that used "Centésimos" as 1/100 fraction of currency; it's noticeably word is misspelled showing "CENTECIMO" instead of "CENTESIMO". Later, fractional denomination was changed to "Centavo"
Interesting fact
The 1 Centésimo coin from Bolivia, misspelled as "CENTECIMO" and made of copper, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. In 1864, Bolivia was facing a period of hyperinflation, and the government was struggling to maintain the value of its currency. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin continued, resulting in a unique and rare collector's item that reflects the country's history and economic struggles during that time.
