| Aanvullende informatie |
Genoveva Ríos was a 19th-century Bolivian woman celebrated for her role during the War of the Pacific, reportedly defending the city of Calama against Chilean forces in 1879 after much of the male population had fallen. Bolivia's broader "Personajes" bimetallic and steel commemorative series, of which this piece is part, was issued to rehabilitate figures who had been marginalized in official historiography — regional heroes rather than national presidents or generals.
The Calama engagement itself was militarily inconsequential; Chile took the city in under an hour. That context gives Ríos her particular symbolic weight in Bolivian memory.
