Comments: The obverse of this coin features Francisco Hernández de Córdoba the reputed founder of Nicaragua. The reverse features a very popular design from the Central American Republic 8 Reales coins of the sun peeking over mountains. This was one of a group of coins that I recently sent off to NGC for grading. I expected an XF grade but was surprised that it came back as AU50.
