| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national arms of Nicaragua at centre, comprising a triangular shield bearing a landscape of five volcanoes rising from the sea beneath a radiant sun, flanked by two crossed pairs of flags and surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a staff. The entire armorial device is encircled by a decorative wreath of laurel branches. The legend REPUBLICA DE NICARAGUA arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, while the coin is bordered by a continuous beaded rim. |

| Additional information |
Nicaragua's 1892 coinage was prepared in anticipation of a modernized decimal system, with pattern strikes like this piece produced to test designs and specifications before authorizing full production runs. The KM#Pn5 designation confirms it never advanced to circulation issue — likely rejected or superseded before the dies saw commercial use.
