| Obverse description | Uniformed bust of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba facing forward, centered in the field, with the legend REPUBLICA DE NICARAGUA arcing above and the date flanked by decorative stars below. The word TRIAL is counterstamped to the left of the bust, identifying this piece as an official trial strike. The portrait is rendered in moderate relief with clear facial and uniform detail characteristic of mid-twentieth-century die work. |

| Reverse description | A row of five volcanoes rises from the base of the field beneath a radiant sun whose rays fill the upper portion of the design. The motto EN DIOS CONFIAMOS arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 CENTAVOS DE CORDOBA is inscribed along the lower periphery. The word TRIAL is counterstamped within the sun's rays, confirming the trial-strike status of this piece. The composition closely follows the standard circulation type of the period but is distinguished by the applied TRIAL counterstamp. |
