Comment
Some sources say a mintage number of 40,000, some mention only 25,000. I use the second one because the Schön catalog uses it, and Schön is usually very exact with his information.Included in FAO Money Panel #1. Official FAO Data sheet that accompanies the panels states 25,000 in circulation
Minted in Germany
Interesting fact
The 1968 Bolivian 1 Peso Boliviano (FAO) coin features a unique design, with an image of a farmer and a llama on one side, and the Bolivian coat of arms on the other.
