| Obverse description | The Nicaraguan national arms occupy the central field, depicting a equilateral triangle enclosing a landscape of five volcanic peaks rising from a body of water beneath radiating sunrays, all rendered in high relief against a polished proof field. A legend arcs along the upper periphery reading REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA, while AMÉRICA CENTRAL arcs along the lower left and right. The denomination 50 CÓRDOBAS appears in the exergue below the central device. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Nicaragua's "Save the Ocean" series was part of a broader wave of Pacific-rim nation coinages issued under licensing arrangements with European distributors — the coins are legal tender in name but produced entirely for the collector market, with no meaningful domestic circulation. The .9999 fineness and fractional gold weight place this squarely in the modern bullion-gift category that proliferated through the 2010s.
KM#134 is catalogued but sparsely documented; mintage figures for this specific issue remain unconfirmed in major references.
