| Additional information |
Bolivia's centavo series of this period was minted almost entirely at the Potosí mint, operating under the monetary reforms that followed the country's 1872 adoption of the decimal system — a transition that took years to fully implement in practice. The Type 2 lettering distinction on KM#158.2 reflects a mid-series die modification, likely introduced at Potosí between runs, and separates this subtype from the otherwise identical KM#158.1.
The date range spans the catastrophic War of the Pacific, during which Bolivia lost its entire Pacific coastline to Chile by 1884 — the same year this type ceased production.
