Owner's Description

These 200,000 Cordobas overprint notes were printed over the 19885 (1988) 1000 Cordobas (P156b) banknotes. They only overprinted uninssued notes from the last prefix (FC).

I am unsure of how many banknotes were overprinted. But because these overprints were rushed through the printing process there is many errors that exist. And as part of my collection I have multiple examples such as missing the overprint on the front or rear and overprints that were printed upside down, or a combination of the two!

The 1000 Cordoba banknotes were similar to the previous issues however they have changed colour from a greyish/blue to more of a brown with pink the obverse pay homages to revolutionary leader Augusto César Sandino, the rebellious guerrilla leader that fought against the United States involvement and military presence in Nicaragua. He was later executed at the hands of the national guard under orders of General Anastasio Somoza who would later become president and dictator of Nicaragua.

The Sandinistas later adpoted his name for their political party and his famous wide brimmed hat and portrait are widely used in their political propaganda and was also featured on the reverse of the coins issued during the 1980s whilst the Sandinistas were in power.

On the reverse of the banknote is a scene depicting the day of liberation (dia de liberacion) on the 19th of July 1979 showing a large crowd of Sandinista sympathisers celebrating in front of the Cathedral in Managua.
