Issued by Nicaragua in 1976, this commemorative series honors the 200th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence (1776–1976).

Though issued by Nicaragua, the set reflects the global recognition of the American bicentennial celebrations. With vivid classical artwork and bilingual inscriptions, the series is a popular thematic collectible for history, independence, and bicentennial topical collections.
