Comment
Bolivia issued a set of 4 coins, towards the territorial claims to Chile, for the region they took from Bolivia; out of the territorial question, the importance for Bolivia is that region was their access to sea. Nowadays Bolivia has no seashores. This is the first time Bolivia issues commemorative circulating coins.The Cobija Harbor was part of the Litoral province of Bolivia, was founded by Simon Bolivar, and assigned to Bolivia, in the Litoral province, so the country could have a real access to Pacific ocean, On 1835 Peru took control of the harbor, during the Peruvian Civil War 1835-1836; later during the Pacific war, Bolivia lost the rest of the province, and Peru this and some more territories.
