Reverse description Reverse face of the Bolivian host coin bearing the Manila Type I countermark at center, enclosed within a serrated circular border. The legends and design of the underlying Bolivian 8 Soles host coin — struck at the Potosi mint in 1827 — remain partially legible in the surrounding field, including fragments of the constitutional legend reading CONSTITUCION. The countermark prominently displays MANILA above the date 1828, confirming the year of validation. The serrated rim of the applied stamp is clearly defined against the worn surface of the host coin.
