In the upper center, a red phrygian cap (ES: gorro frigio),a symbol of liberty (also used by the jacobins during the French Revolution), i.e., the independence of Central America from Spain. Surrounding the triangle, the words República de Nicaragua and América Central arranged in a circle; the first in the upper part, the second in the lower.

Note the similarity to the early 19th century version of the flag: Zentralamerikanische Konföderation 1823-1824.svg. Thus the design is likely not eligible for copyright, as it does not meet the threshold of originality.
