Owner's Description
These 100 Cordobas banknotes were introduced into circulation on the 26th of July 2012. This was a slightly updated design (from the previous 2009 P204) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the currency the Cordoba which features a wider security thread, as well as the words 1912 - 2012 Centenario del Cordoba as a watermark on the top LH side.
The notes had a prefix A/1 (as seen in the second set) whilst the replacement/star notes such as this example had the prefix Z/1.
I am unsure on the actual emission for this series, but I estimate it to be around 50-60 million. I have seen notes from 49*** onwards and as high as 9**.
The obverse of the banknote features the Ruben Dario Monument located in the "old downtown area" in Managua, near Lake Managua. The Statue was inaugurated on the 24th of September 1933 and over the years fell into disrepair. It was fully restored in 1998.
The reverse of the note features the famous Catedral de Leon (Leon Cathedral) It is the largest Cathedral in all of Central America, it is a World Heritage Listed site by UNESCO that was built between 1747 and 1817. In the crypts below the cathedral are the remains of several prominent Nicaraguans including Miguel Larreynaga and Ruben Dario among others. It was later to be featured on the 500 Cordoba notes.
As at October 2020 there were only 3 of these replacement notes graded with this one graded the lowest in 65 EPQ with 2 graded higher in 67 EPQ. In the regular issue there were a total of 46 notes graded with grades from 64 through to 68 EPQ. In my 2nd set I have a 67 EPQ graded regular issue note.
