Background
Bolivia was colonized by the Spanish in the early 16th century. It became independent on 6 August 1825.
Bolivia has been a member of the Universal Copyright Convention since 22 March 1990, the Berne Convention since 4 November 1993 and the World Trade Organization since 12 September 1995.[1] Bolivia is a member of the Andean Community of Nations, and is subject to Decision 351 copyright rules issued by that customs union.[2]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No.1322 of April 13, 1992, on Copyright as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Bolivia.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3]
Ĝeneralaj reguloj

- Individual works are protected for 50 years after the death of the author.[1322/1992 Article 18]

Folkloro kaj metioj: ne libera
This Law shall be deemed to protect all those works considered as folklore: the body of literary and artistic works created on the national territory by authors who are unknown or who do not identify themselves and who are presumed to be nationals of the country or members of its ethnic communities and which is passed down from generation to generation, representing one of the fundamental elements of the nation’s traditional cultural heritage.[1322/1992 Article 21] Works of folklore, for the purposes of their utilization as literary and artistic works, shall be considered as works belonging to the national heritage, in accordance with the norms contained in Title XI of this Law, without prejudice to any norms of protection that may be adopted by other State institutions or through international agreements.[1322/1992 Article 22] Crafts and crafts designs shall be protected by the general norms of this Law, especially with regard to three-dimensional arts and the national heritage.[1322/1992 Article 23]

Foreign works whose term of protection has expired shall belong to the public domain.[1322/1992 Article 58] The utilization in any form or procedure of works from the National Heritage and the public domain shall be free, but anyone using such works for commercial purposes shall pay the State, in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations, a fee based on the fee for utilization of similar works covered by the private protection system.[1322/1992 Article 60] Income from the utilization of National Heritage works shall be earmarked exclusively for the promotion and dissemination of the country’s cultural values.[1322/1992 Article 61]

Unsure According to Article 8 of the Law No.1322 of April 13, 1992, on Copyright: "Only a natural person may be an author; however, the State, public law bodies and moral or legal entities may exercise copyright as derived owners, in accordance with the norms of this Law".[1322/1992 Article 8]
Article 5(i) of Law No. 1322 defines "derived work" as: "Any work arising from the adaptation, translation or other transformation of an original work, provided that it constitutes a separate creation".[1322/1992 Article 5(i)]
The copyright law has provisions giving copyright to the State in national folklore and when Bolivian nationals die without heirs, so it is not clear if the government's right to hold copyright extends to banknotes.
Freedom of panorama

Law No.1322 of April 13, 1992, on Copyright does not give a freedom of panorama provision. However, Decision 351 of the Andean Community of Nations (of which Bolivia is part of) provides for a freedom of panorama provision.
