VENEZUELA. 1/5 Bolivar, 1879. Brussels Mint. PCGS Genuine--Bent, EF Details.

KM-Y-19.2; Stohr-40. Refined Letters variety. A one-year denomination that is RARE in any grade on account of significant withdrawal from circulation after the 1/4 Bolivar denomination took its place in 1894. This example, far more detailed than most seen, shows limited softening of Bolivar's effigy. Several small specks of corrosion prevent a straight grade, while the aforementioned bend remains untraceable in the holder. Despite its imperfections, a compelling example for the collector seeking examples of all of Venezuela's most challenging circulating coinage.
