Comment
Nicaragua being part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala didn't needed to mint their own coins; this is why they don't have any regular Colonial Real coin. The only coins under the Real system were Proclamation coins minted near the end of the colony.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1808 Nicaragua 1 Real - Ferdinand VII (Proclamation coinage) coin made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VII of Spain, who was facing opposition from independence movements in various Spanish colonies, including Nicaragua. Despite the challenges, the coin still features the king's image and name, highlighting the connection between Nicaragua and the Spanish crown at that time.
