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 won 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 10 Cordobas banknotes pay homage to the city of Managua. With Palm trees being used as the holographic security feature. The obverse of the note features the Salvador Allende Port on Lake Managua. A popular tourist spot located on the foreshore of the Managua Lake that has plenty of parks, restaurants and bars with nightlife.

The reverse of the note features La Vaquita (The little cow) is a costume and dance from the Patron Festivities in Managua held in August each year.
