Bolivia · 1894 · 10 Centavos

This definitive stamp from 1894 features the Bolivian coat of arms, a central element of the nation's identity. The design includes Mount Potosi, an alpaca, a wheat sheaf, and a breadfruit tree, all framed by Bolivian flags, cannons, and Phrygian caps, with a condor perched atop. The denomination 'DIEZ CENTAVOS' is inscribed at the bottom.
