| Obverse lettering | EQUIPO OLÍMPICO DE NICARAGUA 2020 (Translation: Olympic Team of Nicaragua) |
| Reverse description | The central device features the Nicaraguan coat of arms, consisting of a equilateral triangle enclosing five volcanoes rising from the sea beneath a radiant sun, all set within a rainbow arc. The weight denomination 28.28g appears to the left of the central device and the fineness mark Ag925 to the right, both in the middle field. The face value 5 CÓRDOBAS is inscribed in the lower central field below the arms. The circumferential legend REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA arcs across the upper border, with AMÉRICA CENTRAL along the lower border, both separated from the central design by a beaded inner circle. |

| Additional information |
Nicaragua has sent athletes to the Summer Olympics since 1968, though the country's participation has been intermittent and its medal count remains zero. This issue was prepared in anticipation of the Tokyo Games, which were originally scheduled for 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced a one-year postponement — meaning coins dated 2020 were already struck before the Games actually occurred in July–August 2021.
