Comment
Type I Reverse.In their search to become Nicaragua's capital and dominant city, many cities started minting their own coins to show supremacy. Many are of very poor quality and ultra rare.
Interesting fact
The 2 Reales 1824 coin from Nicaragua made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during the short-lived Federal Republic of Central America, which was a political union of several Central American states that lasted from 1821 to 1838. The coin features the national emblem of Nicaragua on one side and the denomination and year on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in good condition.
