Oruro, Bolivia, 1 sol, 1849, Belzu, PCGS VF25 mint error / struck 10% off center. Burnett-29A; Fonrobert-9782. Obverse with Cerro de Socabon with church to left and sun to right within wreath under legend CERRO DE. SOCN.; reverse with GRATITUD / AL SOR. Pe: / [script] MYB. with legend REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA at top and .OR.1S.1849.JM. across bottom, the latter being the Oruro mintmark (monogram), denomination 1 sol, date and assayer, hence unquestionably intended to circulate as a coin; reeded edge. Bold strike (full details) with nicely contrasting toning (more like VF35 in our estimation), diagnostic die-break on both sides, unique error, also quite rare as unholed, which KM calls "so rare that no clear price range is yet established." PCGS #32915149. The Whittier Collection of Bolivian Monetary Medals
