Heavy silver square with quote "La constancia ha triunfado siempre"

on the back side is markings "10" and "plata 1000"

The gold coin has "simon Bolivar"


I've been looking all over the web with no success as to what this is, and if it is worth anything.

Help please?

Looks like this:

The portrait of Bolivar looks like it was copied from the portrait used on Venezuelan coins for the last 100+ years. It could be an item from Venezuela. But, of course, Simon Bolivar is a hero in more than one South American country so there are a lot of places this could have come from.

My best guess is that it's a privately made silver bar, perhaps from Venezuela but with no official government authorization, sold as an investment and collectible to a Bolivar-loving population. The little gold insert means that it's not simply a bullion item - it is meant to be some kind of art, as well.

Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, so that's about as far as I can go.
