Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Nicaragua, made of Copper-nickel in 1980, features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. It showcases the national emblem of Nicaragua on one side and a portrait of Augusto César Sandino, a Nicaraguan revolutionary leader, on the other. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists, with only a limited number minted.
