Bolivia Sucre Independence Revolution History MS 67 PCGS bimetal medal 2009

Bolivia, 2009, a powerful bimetal commemorative medal honoring the Independence Revolution and the historic “Primer Grito de Libertad” — the First Cry of Freedom that marked the beginning of Bolivia’s struggle for independence. Issued in Sucre, the constitutional capital of the country, this piece reflects national pride, sacrifice, and the birth of sovereignty.

The obverse features a dramatic high-relief revolutionary scene rendered in golden tone: armed patriots advance together through an arched colonial setting, carrying rifles, cannons, and flags. At the center, a commanding figure raises his arm in a gesture of defiance and leadership, symbolizing unity and resistance. Below the scene appears the date “25 de Mayo,” commemorating the historic uprising of 1809. Surrounding the image are inscriptions “Primer Grito de Libertad,” “1809,” “Bicentenario,” and “2009,” emphasizing the bicentennial celebration within a silver-toned outer ring.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Bolivia in a golden center, with flags, crossed weapons, laurel branches, and an eagle above the shield. The surrounding silver ring bears the inscriptions “La Unión es la Fuerza” and “Sucre – Bolivia,” reinforcing the ideals of unity and national identity.

Struck as a bimetal medal with a Mint State finish, this piece is certified PCGS MS 67, offering strong eye appeal and well-preserved surfaces. A meaningful historical tribute and an impressive collectible from Latin American numismatics.
