Context
After the 1979 Nicaraguan Revolution , the Sandinista government redesigned the national coinage to reflect Nicaraguan (and Latin American) nationalism. Augusto Nicolás Sandino was a Nicaraguan revolutionary who conducted a guerrilla war against the United States Marine Corps in the 1920s and 1930s. He was assassinated in 1934 and became a hero among the Nicaraguan people. Due to high inflation caused by fiscal mismanagement in the mid-1980s, these coins were discontinued in favor of a nickel-plated steel variety in 1984.
