| Reverse description | A row of five volcanoes rises from the center of the field, with a radiant sun emerging from behind the central peak, echoing Nicaragua's traditional coat of arms motif. The national motto arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination inscription is positioned along the lower margin. A counterstamped TRIAL legend appears within the rays of the sun, confirming the piece's status as a trial strike. The overall design follows the established typology of Nicaraguan coinage of the First Córdoba series. |

| Additional information |
Trial strikes of this type were produced to test new compositions or planchet specifications ahead of authorized production runs — in Nicaragua's case, the mid-1960s saw active experimentation as the country evaluated coinage alternatives under Somoza-era monetary administration. Whether this piece advanced to influence the final circulating series or was quietly shelved is not documented in standard references.
