Printed entirely in green, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate guilloche pattern with the Nicaraguan coat of arms — featuring the triangle, volcanic landscape, and rainbow — centrally placed within a wreath vignette. Large numeral 5s and the letters V and N appear at the corners as denomination indicators, while bold lettering arcs across the top and bottom within a dense ornamental border carrying repeated "República de Nicaragua" micro-text. |

The Tesoro Nacional de Nicaragua — the national treasury, not a central bank — issued notes directly in the early 1890s, a period when Nicaragua had no formal bank of issue. Payot, Upham & Co. of San Francisco handled currency and security printing for several Central American governments during this decade, a geography of convenience given Pacific coast trade routes and the relative scarcity of capable security printers in the region.
