Interesting fact
The 4 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted between 1855 and 1858, has an interesting feature. It was made of silver (.667) and weighed 13.5 grams, making it a substantial coin. Did you know that the coin's design was inspired by the country's national emblem, the condor? The condor is a large South American bird known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 10 feet (3 meters) wide. The coin's obverse features the Bolivian coat of arms, which includes a condor perched on a mountain peak, symbolizing the country's rich natural resources and its connection to the Andean region. The condor's presence on the coin serves as a reminder of Bolivia's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to preserving its natural beauty.
