P#238 is unusual in having two printers listed — Canadian Bank Note Company and Oberthur Fiduciaire — suggesting the series was split between suppliers across the I and J prefix runs, a not uncommon arrangement for longer-lived series where a central bank hedges supply risk or renegotiates contracts mid-issue. Bolivia's 2009 constitutional refounding as the Plurinational State required all currency to reflect the new official name, making even routine denominations like this 10 Bolivianos a product of political mandate rather than monetary need.
