Comment
During this period a lot of currency circulating as legal tender in Nicaragua was US Dollar coins, mostly Dimes and Half Dimes. So in 1859 the government authorized Leon to mint smaller Dime fractions for convenience. This right was finally exercised in 1877 with the 1/24 and 1/12 Dime coins.Interesting fact
The 1877 Nicaragua 1/12 dime coin made of copper is interesting because it was issued during the presidency of Jose de la Cruz, who was a prominent figure in Nicaraguan history and known for his efforts to modernize the country's economy.
