Venezuela Gold Simón Bolívar 3g Coin MS68 DPL + 5× 500 Million UNC Banknotes

This updated Venezuela Collector’s Set pairs a prestigious modern gold coin with some of the highest-denomination banknotes issued in recent Venezuelan monetary history. The set features a 3-gram Gold Simón Bolívar coin, graded MS68 DPL (Deep Prooflike) and recognized as Finest Known, accompanied by five (5) Venezuela 500 Million bolívares banknotes dated 2024, all in UNC (Uncirculated) condition.

The gold coin honors Simón Bolívar, the revered liberator of much of South America. Struck in fine gold, the coin displays sharply executed details, mirrored prooflike fields, and frosted devices that create dramatic visual contrast. Its high certified grade places it among the elite examples of this modern Venezuelan gold issue, combining bullion value with strong numismatic appeal.

Complementing the coin are five identical 500,000,000 bolívares banknotes, each representing the extreme denominations produced during Venezuela’s continuing battle with inflation. These notes exemplify the final stages of high-value paper money usage before successive redenominations reshaped the currency system. Crisp paper, bold printing, and oversized numeric design elements underscore their function as both monetary instruments and historical artifacts.

Together, the gold coin and banknotes offer a powerful snapshot of Venezuela’s modern economic narrative—uniting national symbolism, precious metal craftsmanship, and hyperinflation-era paper money into one cohesive collector set.
