Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1912-1936 Nicaragua 25 Centavos coin is that it was minted during the presidency of Adolfo Díaz, who served as the country's president from 1911 to 1917 and again from 1927 to 1933. Díaz was a prominent figure in Nicaraguan politics and is known for his efforts to modernize the country's economy and infrastructure. The coin's design, which features the national coat of arms and the denomination, was likely chosen to reflect the country's growing economic and political stability during this period.
