Experience one of Bolivia’s finest numismatic treasures — the 1935 Proof 10 Centavos, a superbly struck coin that captures the nation’s artistic and historical legacy in exquisite detail. Graded and certified by NGC, this piece represents the pinnacle of Bolivian coinage quality during the early 20th century.
The obverse displays the Bolivian coat of arms, symbolizing the country’s pride, resilience, and natural wealth — framed by the legend “REPÚBLICA DE BOLIVIA.” On the reverse, a finely detailed caduceus divides the denomination “10 C”, surrounded by elegant olive branches and the date 1935.
Struck as a Proof issue, this coin was specially minted with mirror-like fields and sharp reliefs for collectors and dignitaries, not for circulation. Only a small number were produced, and even fewer survive today in high-grade condition.
Certified by NGC as a genuine Proof specimen, it stands out for its exceptional luster, precision strike, and preservation — making it a premium acquisition for advanced collectors of Latin American and world proofs.
