Obverse lettering REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA 12g Ag 925 5 CÓRDOBAS - AMÉRICA CENTRAL -
(Translation: Republic of Nicaragua 12 Grams Silver .925 Central America)
Reverse description The reverse depicts a detailed nautical scene commemorating Christopher Columbus's voyage of 1502 to the coast of Central America. A large square-rigged caravel occupies the central and upper field, rendered with fine detail showing masts, rigging, and pennants. In the lower foreground, a rowboat crowded with several figures — crew members in period dress — is shown departing the ship toward shore, oars extended over choppy waves. The arced legend DESCUBRIMIENTO CRISTÓBAL COLÓN · 1502 runs along the upper periphery, and the date 2019 is inscribed in the lower exergue. The mirror-polished proof field provides a dramatic dark background contrasting the frosted relief of the nautical composition.
