BOLIVIA, La Paz, 2 soles monetary medal, 1853, Belzu / mint building / mountains. Burnett-55C; Fonrobert-unl. 6.65 grams. 27 mm. Obverse with mint building below arc of nine stars within legend MONEDA DE LA PAZ DE AYACUCHO with six-point star at bottom; reverse with radiant sun over mountains with city in foreground within legend ESTABLECIDA / EN 1853 D. M. B.; reeded edge. AU- with luster, slightly off-center strike, toning around lettering. It seems like more than coincidence that Canada produced copper tokens with a very similar design in the decade prior (see lot 1132 in this sale for an example).
