| Additional information |
Bolivia's 1852 coinage reform discussions were driven by pressure to decimalise ahead of regional neighbours, but the transition stalled repeatedly in the legislature. This 4 Soles denomination was never adopted — the sol-based system itself was abandoned before it could take hold, and Bolivia retained macuquin-era fractional conventions far longer than Peru or Chile.
Pattern status means surviving examples passed through official channels rather than commercial circulation, likely retained by mint officials or presented to government functionaries evaluating the proposed system.
