Bolivian sol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sol was the currency of Bolivia between 1827 and 1864. There were no subdivisions of the sol but 16 soles were equal to 1 scudo. The sol replaced the Spanish colonial real at par and was replaced by the boliviano at a rate of 8 soles = 1 boliviano. Only coins were issued.
[edit] Coins
In 1827, silver ½, 1, 2, 4 and 8 soles were introduced. These were followed by gold 1 and 8 scudos in 1831 and ½, 2 and 4 scudos in 1834. Silver ¼ sol coins were issued in 1852 and 1853.
