| Obverse description | The Bolivian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting the oval shield with the Cerro Rico mountain and sun above, flanked by Bolivian flags, muskets, and laurel and olive branches, surmounted by a condor with spread wings. A beaded inner border frames the design. The curved legend ESTADO PLURINACIONAL DE BOLIVIA arcs around the upper periphery, while the bicentennial commemorative logo and the legend BICENTENARIO DE BOLIVIA appear in the lower field below the arms. |

Bolivia's 2025 coinage program marks the bicentennial of independence declared on August 6, 1825, making this one of the few circulating commemorative issues tied to a precise 200-year anniversary rather than a rounded institutional milestone. The Banco Central de Bolivia has periodically redenominated and restructured its coinage series since the catastrophic hyperinflation of the mid-1980s, when annual inflation briefly exceeded 20,000 percent and the boliviano itself was reintroduced in 1987 at a rate of one million old pesos per unit.
