| Obverse description | Central field features the Nicaraguan national coat of arms, depicting a triangular shield enclosing a volcanic mountain range rising from the sea, surmounted by a Phrygian cap emitting rays, flanked by crossed rifles and lances. The shield is surrounded by a decorative cartouche. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE NICARAGUA runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The coin displays a beaded border throughout. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing the bold three-line inscription ESSAI DE MONNAIE (French: coin trial or essay) arranged centrally across the field, with the date 1892 positioned in the lower portion beneath the legend. The entire design is framed by a continuous beaded border. The reverse is intentionally unadorned, consistent with standard French-style essai coinage practice of the period. |
