Comments:
This issue commemorates the abdication of Belzu and transmission of office to the new president Córdova (Belzu’s son-in-law), all in 2-soles size with some gold known.
With lots of mixing of designs, this series starts with a congressional scene wherein Belzu is being given a medal and sash, followed by pieces with Córdova’s bust over flags and arms, along with designs of either seated Liberty or a flying angel strewing flowers or a helmeted woman offering a baby to God as represented by a radiant cross in the sky.
Another design used in this mix shows just the date April 4, 1855, plus one final issue with that date mixed with a standing helmeted woman.
