| Additional information |
Alexander von Humboldt spent several months in the Americas between 1799 and 1804, but his documented travels took him through Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Mexico — he never set foot in Nicaragua. The connection is regional at best, and his inclusion here reflects a broader Latin American claim on his scientific expedition rather than any specific Nicaraguan tie.
At 0.5 grams of 14-karat gold, this belongs to the category of modern fractional issues produced primarily for collectors rather than circulation — a format the Banco Central de Nicaragua has used for several commemorative releases.
