| Additional information |
Bolivia's gold coinage in the early 1830s was struck at the Potosí mint, operating under considerable logistical strain as the new republic worked to assert independent monetary authority following the collapse of Spanish colonial administration. The 4 Scudo denomination sat at the upper end of domestic circulation and saw most of its practical use in inter-regional trade rather than everyday exchange.
Fr#22 is among the scarcer Friedberg listings for early Bolivian gold — surviving examples are frequently found with adjustment marks from the assayer's file, a common feature at Potosí where weight correction was standard practice before striking.
