| Additional information |
Nicaragua's 1975 gold issues were struck amid the final years of the Somoza dictatorship, a period of relative economic stability that allowed the Banco Central to commission a series of collector-oriented gold denominations — a program that would become effectively impossible within three years, when the Sandinista revolution collapsed the old monetary order entirely. These were never intended for circulation.
KM#40 is part of a broader commemorative suite tied to the American Bicentennial, produced for the export collector market rather than domestic use.
