Additional information

Venezuela redenominated its currency in 2008, replacing the bolívar at a rate of 1,000 to 1 — meaning this coin, at face value, became exactly one of the new bolívar fuerte on introduction. It was among the highest-denomination circulating coins the country had issued up to that point, a response to inflation that was already accelerating well before the formal redenomination arrived.
