Potosi, Bolivia, medallic 20 centavos, 1879, Daza, PCGS AU details / damage, ex-Whittier. Burnett-123.1; KM-166. Obverse with arms above arc of nine stars within legend REPUBLICA DE BOLIVIA / ENERO 14 DE 1879; reverse with bust of Daza above H. DAZA within legend EL EJERCITO NAL. AL PRESIDTE. DE LA REPA / 20 CET. A few splashes of colorful toning over luster, the bust side lightly hairlined and the arms side with area of surface corrosion from about 2 to 5 o'clock. This type is denominated for use as a coin but unquestionably follows the medallic tradition of years prior (in fact the last of the series), especially considering the fact that non-medallic pieces were struck at the same time. Note: Burnett states the denomination as 20 CS. in error. Pedigreed to the Whittier collection (stated on label). PCGS #32906177.
