Comment

This coin is a piedfort for JMA# 478 (not listed on Krause); means it is minted on a double width planchet, using the same dies as on final version, therefore weight does not match what is shown in coin.

The coins of this series honors Simon Bolivar, who not only fought to make Venezuela independent, but also promoted revolutionary movements on several countries, including Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru.
