Potosi, Bolivia, 10 soles-sized monetary medal, 1825, Bolivar, NGC MS 61. Burnett-3A2; Fonrobert-9465. 42mm Obverse with military portrait of Bolívar facing right inside legend SIMON BOLIVAR LIBERTADOR DE COLOMBIA Y DEL PERU .; reverse with Cerro de Potosí with city at base and radiant sunface above within legend POTOSI MANIFIESTA SU GRATITUD AL GENIO DE LA LIBERTAD . 1825 .; reverse variety with vertical sun ray under I of GRATITUD. Impressive in size and importance, as from the first series of Bolivian monetary medals struck after independence, this example with splotchy colorful toning over luster, some very faint hairline scratches. (Note: NGC labeled this erroneously as Fonrobert-9466, the difference being the position of the vertical sun ray in relation to the legend.)
($1000-1500)
