The day July 6, 2008 appeared in an unusual www.ebay.com Venezuelan currency, unpublished until now.

This essay maintains the style of the pieces "Barre" was coined by a German Mint and bears the inscripciciones "DEUTSCHE NICKEL AC Schwert" and "must" side of the face.

think that this coin was minted for the Central Bank of Venezuela in the year and for some reason was not approved by the Board for circulation. The year 1989 was marked by the single currency shortage due to a sharp rise in the price of nickel and is quite possible that the BCV is aimed at solving this contingency using 'tinoquitos " first place and then coins nickel plated steel. It is also very possible that in an environment marked by conflict as the "Caracazo, multiple protests, rising gas prices and inflation of 79.9%, to issue a coin of such high value, then, was to make the weakness of our currency and could have a negative psychological impact.

Whatever the case, the fact is that the coin never went into circulation and for some reason was to stop a private collection in England. Seller Ebay claims to have bought into a lot on which that particular piece did not have any apparent.

It was auctioned in Europe at an unknown price, leaving only the pleasure of seeing at least in image.

This test was performed during the first months of President Antonio Jose de Sucre Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho and his singing has the legend "1824 AYACUCHO SUCRE" common in the final version approved. It is very probable that the President's decision to Sucre which would be the image of Bolívar best for Bolivian currency.


Bolívar's image was finally used is shown at right, in military uniform and a crown of laurels to the very style and attitude Caesarian more manly. The important thing about these two pieces is the detail that the writer of the picture is perfectly able to learn the Liberator in person and probably did more like portraits of his figure and the person or persons who approved were contemporaries of the Liberator.
