Numista-10340KM(Y)-24.2.

A wholesome Very Fine example with even wear, original coloration, and no major distractions.  This is a larger silver coin which has very nearly the diameter of a United States silver dollar, and it was in fact struck under contract for Venezuela by the US Mint at Philadelphia. 

The 1929 had a relatively modest mintage of 800,000 pieces, which, though a relatively "common" date for the series, has a lower mintage total than for the later coins from the 1930s.

There are "High 9" and "Low 9" varieties for this date.  I am not sufficiently familiar with the series to know which this one is, but looking at the second 9 in the date, I suspect this might be the High 9 variety?  That seems to be slightly more common according to Numista, but in any event, both varieties have identical catalog values, per Krause-Mishler.
