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 (as seen in the 2nd set) and the replacement/star notes have the R prefix (such as this example).

The 20 Cordobas banknotes pay homage to the Caribbean Coast. With Turtles being used as the holographic security feature. The obverse of the note features the Morova Church located in the Pearl Lagoon. A beautiful area well known for its pristine tropical sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

The reverse of the note features Festival Mayo Ya or Palo de Mayo (Maypole) is a month long celebration in the heavily Afro-caribbean influenced Atlantic Coast region of Nicaragua.

As at October 2020 there were a total of 14 replacement notes graded. This note is equal 2nd with 12 other notes in 65 EPQ with 8 graded higher in 66 EPQ and 1 graded in 64. With the regular issue there is a total of 54 notes graded with grades from 65 EPQ to 68 EPQ. I have a 66 EPQ regular issue note in my 2nd set.
