The list of years is marked as complete and verified, but actually there are two more years - 1900 and 1906 - that have recently been published by Bolivian collectors in Facebook. Both years are extremely rare (almost unique).

I have accepted new year request, but looking the post and the pictures shown, I have some doubts, is explained is a coin of pattern or trial quality, but finishing of reverse is very bad, specially on date zone. but most important is the obverse image shows die cracks on nearly all country name/stars zone. I can't believe a minthouse would use a such damaged die for a pattern or trial, specially being Monnaie de Paris.

Just 10 options: you understand binary, or you don't.

I don´t think that in 1900 there was a trial coin. What could they try after 7 years of minting of this type? I think that this is an ordinary regular coin. But the die cracked in the process of minting, they had to stop the work and continued it only the next year.

I will mark it as done (as there is nothing for me to do now). If you come to conclusion that it does not belong on that page, then we can always readjust later.
