10 Córdobas Paslama Turtle

Nicaragua's Banco Central has issued a series of silver coins under the "fauna" program, with individual animals tied to specific regions and conservation concerns. The paslama — known elsewhere as the olive ridley sea turtle — nests in mass synchronized events called arribadas, most famously along Nicaragua's Pacific coast at La Flor and Chacocente wildlife refuges, two of the few protected arribada beaches remaining in Central America.

KM#130 belongs to a broader run of Nicaraguan commemorative silver that rarely sees secondary market depth outside specialist collectors of Latin American issues.
