| Obverse description | At center, the Nicaraguan coat of arms depicted within an equilateral triangle, featuring five volcanoes rising from the sea beneath a radiant sun and rainbow, surmounted by a Phrygian cap. The circular legend REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA arcs along the upper periphery, with AMÉRICA CENTRAL along the lower periphery, both separated by small dots forming an inner border. The date 2022 appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
Nicaragua's Paslama turtle coins are part of a long-running wildlife series issued through the Banco Central, but the Paslama — the local name for the olive ridley sea turtle — carries specific conservation weight: Nicaragua's Pacific coast hosts some of the largest mass nesting events, called arribadas, in the entire Western Hemisphere, concentrated primarily at Chacocente and La Flor wildlife refuges. Both sites have been under formal governmental protection since the 1980s, though enforcement against poaching remained inconsistent for decades.
KM#153 is a one-troy-ounce fine silver bullion-adjacent issue, though its mintage figures are not widely documented in major references.
