Enhance your premium currency collection with a beautiful piece of South American numismatic history. This exceptional listing from ExtremeBanknotes showcases an incredibly well-preserved Bolivia 100 Pesos Bolivianos banknote from the core 1962 series (Pick #164b) in premium Extremely Fine (XF) condition. Celebrated for its deep color fields and rich cultural imagery, this choice specimen is an absolute must-have for discerning collectors tracking the mid-20th-century political and economic evolution of Latin America.

🪙 Technical Features
  • Size: 157 mm × 67 mm
  • Material: Premium Security Paper
  • Type: Standard Circulation Banknote
  • Issuing Authority: Banco Central de Bolivia

🎨 Stunning Design Details
  • Obverse: The front features a highly detailed, sharp portrait of Gualberto Villarroel López, the reformist reform president of Bolivia from the mid-1940s. The design is framed by complex guilloché geometric borders and intricate fine-line engraving elements.
  • Reverse: The back features a sweeping, industrial illustration of the Refinería Gualberto Villarroel, a monumental national oil refinery plant located in Cochabamba. It showcases the mid-century architectural style and symbolizes the nation's proud resource nationalization push.

📜 History & Significance
This 1962 issue holds immense historical value as part of the currency transition that introduced the Peso Boliviano to combat early economic volatility. President Gualberto Villarroel, featured on the note, remains a highly significant figure in Bolivian history for his progressive social reforms and efforts to empower indigenous workers before his tragic assassination in 1946. This banknote honors his legacy alongside the Cochabamba refinery named after him. Because subsequent hyperinflation in the 1980s wiped out this currency era entirely, finding a genuine 100 Pesos specimen surviving in such sharp, extremely fine condition is an excellent opportunity for modern world currency collectors.

✨ Condition Description

CONDITION GUIDE

Gem Uncirculated

A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.

About Uncirculated

A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as  a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.

Extra Fine

A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.

Very Fine 

A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes. 

Fine

A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
