Since the Bolivian republic was established on August 6, 1825 Bolivia has survived more than 16 constitutions, 78 Presidents, 3 military juntas and over 160 revolutions. This one year type was issued in 1865 in honor of the dictator Mariano Melgarejo (1820-71, president of Bolivia 1864-71), along with a half melgarejo and quarter melgarejo. 

Manuel Mariano Melgarejo Valencia (13 April 1820 – 23 November 1871) was the 18th President of Bolivia, from December 28, 1864, to January 15, 1871. 
General Melgarejo originally supported the Linares dictatorship (1857–61) and then combatted on behalf of the rebellious General José Maria de Achá, who became President in 1861. Predictably, in December 1864 he rose up against Achá and, prevailing e country and army, Melgarejo sought him and, by most accounts, murdered him personally. 
Melgarejo eventually galvanized the opposition in a concerted effort to rid the country of his tyranny. On January 15, 1871, he was toppled by the Commander of the Army, General Agustín Morales. Having fled to exile in Lima, Peru, the ex-President was assassinated in November 23 of the same year by his lover's enraged brother, Aurelio Sánchez. 
Against both the forces of Achá and former President Belzú (then struggling to return to power himself), proclaimed himself President of Bolivia. As Belzú continued to control part of the country and army, Melgarejo sought him and, by most accounts, murdered him personally.
