Owner's Description

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 3rd Set) and the replacement/star notes such as this example have the R prefix.

The 50 Cordobas banknotes pay homage to the city of Masaya. With the Marimba being used as the holographic security feature. The obverse of the note features the Artisan Markets in Masaya. A historic market place in the centre of Masaya that has stood for over 100 years.

The reverse of the note features Ballet Folklorico (Folklore Ballet) that is traditional to the city of Masaya.

As at October 2020 there were a total of 29 replacement notes graded. With one note graded higher in 67 EPQ and this equal 2nd with 25 other notes (including 1 in my 2nd set) and 2 graded lower in 65 EPQ. There was a total of 40 regular issue notes with grades between 65 EPQ and 67 EPQ. There is a 66 EPQ note in my 3rd set.
