Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Córdobas (Ferdinand Magellan) 2021 coin from Nicaragua is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features an image of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. The reverse side of the coin features an image of a traditional Nicaraguan boat, known as a "panga," which is still used today by local fishermen along the country's Caribbean coast. This design not only highlights Nicaragua's maritime history but also serves as a symbol of the country's resilience and cultural heritage.
