| Obverse description | Facing bust of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba, the Spanish conquistador and founder of Nicaragua, depicted in Renaissance attire with a prominent ruffled collar and full beard, set within a raised inner circle. The surrounding legend reads REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA along the upper periphery in Latin characters. Five small five-pointed stars are spaced evenly along the lower arc of the inner circle, flanking the date which appears in the lower exergual area. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail, conveying a formal, classical character consistent with early twentieth-century Latin American coinage. |
