| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a fully suited astronaut standing on the lunar surface in the left field, right arm raised in salute, with the American flag planted prominently in the foreground to the right. The curved horizon of the Earth is visible in the upper background against the dark void of space. The commemorative inscription '50 AÑOS ALUNIZAJE' appears in the lower field, flanked by the commemorative dates '20 DE JULIO DE 1969' and '2019', marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The design is rendered in fine relief against a polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
Nicaragua issued this piece to mark the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, joining a crowded field of global commemoratives released in 2019. The half-gram format places it firmly in the micro-gold category that became commercially popular with smaller central banks through licensed mint partnerships — Nicaragua has no domestic precious metals refining infrastructure of its own.
