Interesting fact
The 2 Scudos 1841 coin from Bolivia is interesting because it was minted during the height of the Bolivian gold rush, which lasted from 1840 to 1860. During this time, the country's economy was largely based on gold mining, and the coin was likely used as a means of exchange among miners and merchants. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
