    That's a nice desing, I like South American coins/medals.

    The Caciques were unofficial Venenzuelan coins.
    See below what I found on Internet. They should have different designs (one for each chief) and sizes.

    "Caciques" means "Chiefs" and all of these wonderful gold trade units has a portrait of a Venezuelan Indian Chief. They were minted in Switzerland by the Inter-change Bank Suiza for Venezuela. The sizes were made to be interchangeable with European gold coins. In 1955 gold was still the money of choice by which countries paid their bills. The largest Caciques unit weighs 22.2 grams of .900 fine gold (.6430 troy oz pure).

    Just bullion, IMO.

    They are just cute bullion. A couple years back I had a complete set in a Capital Plastics holder that I was able to get 2% over for and thought I did very well.

    I think there are 24 coins total in the set, don't remember exactly. Beautiful sets. When Gold was in the 300 range, yes there was a small premium. Perhaps 5-10%. The last set I saw sold for melt just this last year.
