| Additional information |
Nicaragua's 1887 coinage was produced under contract at the Philadelphia Mint, part of a broader Central American reliance on U.S. minting infrastructure during a period when the region lacked domestic striking capacity. The KM#6 type was issued under the government of President Adán Cárdenas, whose administration struggled to stabilize a monetary system still sorting itself out after decades of political turbulence following independence from Spain.
Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce — Nicaragua's tropical climate and thin original mintages combine against the collector.
