Lot 1964 Potosi, Bolivia, 1/10 boliviano monetary medal, no date (ca. 1863), Acha, dove / ship.

Potosi, Bolivia, 1/10 boliviano monetary medal, no date (ca. 1863), Acha, dove / ship. Burnett-132; Fonrobert-9462c. 2.64 grams; 20 mm. Obverse with downward-flying dove with olive branch in beak, thematically the same as 1843 issues but with cursive J.MdeA below and within legend A SU EXCIA EL PRESIDENTE DE LA REPUBLICA; reverse with ship sailing right under legend EL COMERCIO D POTOSI; reeded edge. Burnett and Fonrobert both considered this a 1 sol, but the denomination system at the time was in pesos, and this appears to be smaller and more accurately a 1/10 boliviano. Brightly lustrous and well-struck UNC, albeit slightly off-center with parts of edge weak, the nicest example of this popular design that we have ever offered.
