Interesting fact

The 100 Córdobas coin from Nicaragua, made of Silver (.925) and weighing 25.14g, is a non-circulating coin that was issued in 1975. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augusto César Sandino, a Nicaraguan revolutionary leader who played a key role in the country's struggle for independence against the United States. The coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sandino's death and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
