1979 Bolivia Proof Gold 4000 Pesos Bolivianos Year of Child
In 1979, Bolivia marked the International Year of the Child with a beautifully crafted gold coin. Struck at the prestigious Valcambi Mint in Switzerland, this proof-finish piece contains 0.4968 troy ounces of pure gold content, refined to a purity of 0.900 fine. It carries a face value of 4,000 Pesos Bolivianos and is cataloged as KM#199. The obverse of the coin displays the national arms of Bolivia, framed by a series of stars and the name of the republic. On the reverse, a simple yet evocative design depicts a young child playing a flute, accompanied by the denomination and the 1979 date. This combination of Swiss minting precision and Bolivian cultural imagery makes the coin a fascinating study in late twentieth-century commemorative coinage.
