| Additional information |
Bolivia's scudo series of the early 1840s was struck at the Potosí mint, still operating on infrastructure built during Spanish colonial rule — the same facility that had poured silver into the Atlantic economy for three centuries. By 1841, gold coinage from Potosí was a relatively minor output, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce. The .875 fineness conforms to the old Spanish colonial standard rather than any post-independence reform, suggesting continuity of assay practice well into the republican period.
