Bolivia 20 centavos Regular Coinage PTS CB KM-159.2 MS63 PCGS silver coin 1890

The Bolivia 20 Centavos silver coin of 1890, struck at the Potosí Mint (PTS CB), is a remarkable example of late 19th-century Bolivian numismatic artistry. The obverse features the national coat of arms of the Republic of Bolivia: a central oval shield depicting the Cerro de Potosí mountain, a rising sun, and a llama standing before a palm tree — symbols of prosperity, hope, and the country’s natural wealth. Surrounding the shield are six flags, cannons, muskets, and a battle axe, representing the nation’s struggle for independence, with the inscription “REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA.” On the reverse, a laurel and oak wreath encircles the denomination “VEINTE CENTs,” the fineness mark “9 D. FINO,” and the year 1890, along with the national motto “LA UNION ES LA FUERZA” (“Unity is Strength”). Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS63, this elegant coin reflects Bolivia’s pride, resilience, and the enduring legacy of its republican symbolism.
