Nicaragua. Lot includes 25 Centavos, 1974, About VF; 20 Centavos, 1950, VF; and 10 Centavos, 1965, XF. All three coins are counter stamped with "FSLN". The Sandinista Junta of National Reconstruction (in Spanish: Frente Sandinista de LiberaciÑn Nacional) counter stamped Nicaragua's circulating coins (as well as some that were out-of-circulationi) with the inscription "FSLN". This counterstamp was first applied in 1979, the FSLN's first known attempt to circulate revolutionary coinage. The letters "FSLN" appear within a rectangle on the obverse of all counter stamped coins. 3 pieces.
