| Obverse description | Portrait vignette of Cacique Diriangen, pre-Columbian indigenous chief, at left, printed in red and olive-green tones against a fine guilloche underprint. A large numeral '5' in intaglio occupies the central medallion, surrounded by ornate lathe-work, with a vignette of a sorghum plant at right. The issuer's title 'BANCO CENTRAL DE NICARAGUA' runs along the top, with the date 1995 and two signature lines of bank officials below the central design. |

| Reverse description | Multicolour central vignette illustrating the heroic scene of Rafaela Herrera firing a cannon toward a British warship, rendered in intaglio against a light guilloche background with hills and a river landscape. The figure of Rafaela Herrera stands at right in period dress, applying a linstock to the cannon aimed at the tall-masted British vessel at centre-left, which flies the Union Jack. The note is framed by dark green ornamental borders with corner numeral '5' devices, and a Rubén Darío quotation appears in the upper field. |
