Comment
This coin is pattern for KM# 121.1 issue, is not showing face value, and was added numbers "10" and "20" on sides of image.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted in 1852, is interesting because it was created during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. Bolivia was facing hyperinflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the Boliviano, in 1864. Despite this, the Pattern 2 Soles coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
