Coin of Nicaragua 1 cordoba, 1912
The design of the coins did not change until the 1979 Sandinista Revolution. On small denominations, the country's coat of arms was a non-variable attribute. On the large denominations of a small change and cordobas, on one of the sides, there was almost always a portrait of the Spanish conquistador of the early 16th century, Hernandez de Cordoba, the founder of the two largest cities of Nicaragua - Granada and Leon. On behalf of this character in Spanish and Nicaraguan history, the name of the national currency of Nicaragua - cordoba - comes from.
The case of the conquistador Cordoba in the 20th century was continued by the United States. From 1912 to 1933, Nicaragua was de facto a US colony, with the 12,000th occupation corps of the US Marine Corps in the country. The occupation suited both American businessmen and the local comprador bourgeoisie, who mercilessly exploited the local population and turned banana bunches into hard currency.
In 1927, a large-scale revolutionary national liberation war unfolded in Nicaragua - guerrilla, directed both against the "gringos" - the American occupiers and American business, and against the national traitors of the Nicaraguan people. Guerillo was headed by a legendary man or (as the writer Henri Barbusse called him) "general of free people" - Augusto Sandino (1895-1934).
