Comment
Very rareInteresting fact
The 8 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted in 1859, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "sun" design on the reverse side, which was created by the Bolivian engraver, Gustavo Pardo. This design features a stylized sun with rays extending outwards, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during the presidency of Jose Maria Linares, who was instrumental in introducing new currency reforms in Bolivia.
