Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Córdoba coin from Nicaragua, made of Copper-nickel in 1980, features a unique design that stands out from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin showcases a portrait of Augusto César Sandino, a Nicaraguan revolutionary leader, while the reverse side features the national emblem of Nicaragua surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This coin is particularly interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Nicaragua, and its design reflects the country's struggle for independence and self-determination.
