Interesting fact

The Pattern 4 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted in 1852, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins that were minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin's design features a depiction of the Bolivian coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
