Nicaragua Releases New 10 Cordobas Coin Worth 52 Cents
The Central Bank of Nicaragua (BCN) introduced new 10 cordobas coins Monday that will circulate with the country’s 10 cordobas bill.
The golden coin’s obverse depicts Nicaraguan national hero Andres Castro, who is said to have used a rock in the legendary Battle of San Jacinto in 1856 when his arms jammed.
The 10 cordobas coins have an approximate US value of 52 cents each or about .33 euro.
Ironically, while the coins are dated 2007 to mark the year they were developed and apparently minted, the Central Bank of Nicaragua provided no image for the new coin with their release announcement — a stark contrast from other countries promoting and notifying residents of their new coins.
