Commentary
Cette épreuve est sans doute par son poids et sa texture en étain. Elle n’est pas répertoriée dans le World Coins contrairement au type émis frappé en cupro-nickel et répertorié sous la référence KM.182.
This proof is probably made of tin by its weight and texture. It is not listed in the World Coins unlike the type issued struck in cupro-nickel and listed under the reference KM.182

Historical background
BOLIVIA - REPUBLIC
(since 1825)
Simon Bolivar (1783-1830) took part in the rebellion against Napoleonic Spain in April 1810. He seized Caracas on August 6, 1813, then Bogota in 1819. With General Sucre, his lieutenant, he liberated Ecuador , then Peru by the victory of Ayacucho on December 9, 1824. San Martin gives way to him, but Bolivar does not succeed in federating a South American republic at the Congress of Panama in 1826. He loses power in Colombia in 1830 and died in exile the same year. The independence movement in Bolivia had begun in 1808, but only became effective after the victory of Sucre at Ayacucho in 1824. Lower Peru took the name of Bolivia on August 11, 1825 after independence was proclaimed on August 6, 1825. The new capital was called Sucre (from La Paz) while Potosi, where the silver mines had been discovered in 1545, made the country rich. Bolivar gives a constitution to the country which has since been characterized by political instability.
