Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the presidency of Hilarión Daza, who served as the President of Bolivia from 1876 to 1879. Daza's presidency was marked by economic and political instability, and the minting of this coin may have been a way to promote the country's economy and stability during this time.
