Comment
Of the coins dated 1936, 1,700,000 were minted in 1936 and 800,000 were minted in 1937.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Bolívares coin from Venezuela made of Silver (.835) and Copper (.165) weighing 10g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1879, just a few years after Venezuela had gained independence from Spain, and it remained in circulation until 1936, a period that saw significant economic growth and development in the country. Despite the challenges faced during this time, including civil wars and political instability, the 2 Bolívares coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency for the Venezuelan people.
