Comments

Na 5 centavos Nikaragui z 1898 roku nie jest napisane "Republica", ale "Estado", ponieważ Nikaragua była państwem członkowskim Wielkiej Republiki Ameryki Środkowej.

Wielka Republika Ameryki Środkowej była unią Hondurasu, Nikaragui i Salwadoru, która trwała od 15 września 1896 r. do 21 listopada 1898 r., kiedy to rząd Salwadoru został obalony przez generała. Wielka Republika nawiązała stosunki dyplomatyczne ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The Nicaragua 5 centavos 1898 does not say "Republica", it says "Estado", because Nicaragua was a member state of the Greater Republic of Central America.

The Greater Republic of Central America was a union of Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador, that lasted from September 15, 1896 until November 21, 1898, when the Salvadoran government was overthrown by a general. The Greater Republic did establish diplomatic relations with the United States.
