Comment
This is the only coin ever minted in the city of Oruro. There were plans to open a mint there in 1849 but they were never realized.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Soles (Oruro) 1849 coin from Bolivia is that it was minted during the height of the Bolivian silver rush, which was fueled by the discovery of large silver deposits in the country in the mid-19th century. The coin's design features the image of a condor, which is a symbol of Bolivia and represents the country's rich natural resources and cultural heritage.
