Bolivia Set of 4 Commemorative 2 Bolivianos Coins 2017 UNC
The Bolivia 2017 set of 4 commemorative 2 Bolivianos coins brings together four different designs from a modern series celebrating important figures, events and places connected with Bolivia’s struggle for independence.
Each coin carries the same 2 Bolivianos denomination and 2017 date but features a different commemorative design.
Preserved in UNC condition, the complete four-coin group provides collectors with an interesting combination of modern currency and Bolivian national history.
Historical Background
Bolivia’s independence was the result of a prolonged struggle against Spanish colonial rule that formed part of the wider independence movements across South America.
Resistance and revolutionary activity developed over many years before Bolivia formally declared independence on 6 August 1825.
Modern Bolivian commemorative coinage has revisited this history through a series of 2 Bolivianos coins dedicated to important episodes and protagonists of the independence process.
The four coins dated 2017 belong to this broader historical commemorative programme.

Four Different Commemorative Designs
The principal attraction of this set is that it contains four different 2 Bolivianos designs from 2017 rather than four examples of the same coin.
Together, they form part of a historical series exploring the people and events associated with Bolivia’s path towards independence.
The shared denomination and date create a coherent collection, while the different designs make each coin individually interesting.
Bolivia’s Independence Struggle
Bolivia’s road to independence was closely connected with the revolutionary movements that transformed South America during the early nineteenth century.
Local uprisings, military campaigns and independence leaders all contributed to a process that ultimately resulted in the creation of an independent Bolivia in 1825.
The country was named in honour of Simón Bolívar, while numerous other military and civilian figures played important roles in the independence movement.
This historical background provides the central theme linking the four commemorative coins.
The Boliviano
The modern Boliviano (BOB) was introduced in 1987 following a period of severe monetary instability and hyperinflation.
It is divided into 100 Centavos.
The 2 Bolivianos denomination has also provided Bolivia with a practical format for circulating commemoratives, allowing important national historical themes to appear on coins intended for everyday monetary use.
