Comment
The Numismatic Catalog of Venezuela lists two versions, Normal legend (NCV# mv10bs-ba01) and Reverse legend (NCV# mv10bs-ba01v2). The Reverse legend image matches the image above and there is no image for the "Normal legend".The Numismatic Catalog of Venezuela doesn't list a proof version.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Bolívares coin from Venezuela made of Silver (.900) weighing 30g is that it features the image of Simón Bolívar, the country's national hero, on its obverse side. Bolívar played a key role in Venezuela's struggle for independence from Spain and is considered one of the most important figures in South American history. The coin's design serves as a tribute to his legacy and a symbol of Venezuelan pride.
