These all new designed 2015 banknote series were introduced into circulation on the 26th of October 2015. The series was put out to international tender in August/September of 2014 where a French company one the contract for a total of U$17 million. This series features places and tourist destinations throughout the country.

The notes have a prefix A (please see an example in the 2nd Set) and the replacement/star notes such as this example have the R prefix.

The 100 Cordobas banknotes pay homage to the colonial city of Granada. With the Tambours being used as the holographic security feature. The obverse of the note features the Granada Cathedral.
