The curved legend 'REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'AMÉRICA CENTRAL' is inscribed along the lower portion, with the denomination '10 CÓRDOBAS' appearing below the central triangular device. The entire design is bordered by a beaded inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Aconcagua, at 6,961 meters the highest peak in both the Western and Southern hemispheres, sits entirely within Argentina — making it a curious subject for a Nicaraguan commemorative. These pan-regional Ibero-American themed issues have been a recurring feature of Central American mint programs since the 1990s, often produced under contract by European minting houses for collector export rather than domestic circulation.
