Bolívar's portrait, hair detail, facial features, legends, and the Venezuelan coat of arms remain well defined, with no evidence of circulation wear. Surfaces display numerous bag marks, light abrasions, and scattered contact marks typical of the grade, particularly in the open fields and around the portrait. Attractive light silver-gray patina with areas of mottled toning and light cabinet friction from long-term storage.
