Comment
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 coin from Nicaragua, made of silver in 1824, features an interesting design element - the national emblem of Nicaragua, which includes a volcano, a rainbow, and a Phrygian cap, symbolizing the country's natural beauty, diversity, and struggle for independence.
