Resumen:
The history of numismatics in what is now Central America has been slow to
emerge from obscurity. Several initial books on the subject were produced by
foreign and Central American numismatists in the nineteen sixties and seventies .
They covered only parts of the Spanish Colonial and Republican periods, and mostly
referred to individual countries. Other researchers brought to light valuable
historical information to fill existing major gaps during the final decade of the
twentieth century and in the most recent years. However, more research is still
required to completely fill the prevailing gaps. Historical data awaits the devoted
researcher in dust-filled places located in both Spain and in America.
