Owner's Description
The Series B notes of 1968 would continue the design from the previous emission Series A notes from 1962. They were authorised under Executive Decree # 35-AL on the 25th of May 1968 with a total of 78.8 million notes with a face value of C$512 million Cordobas printed by Thomas de La Rue & co.
There was a total of 12 million 5 Cordobas notes produced for this emission with serial numbers 00000001 - 12000000.
The design carries over from the previous 1962 Series A notes. The obverse of this 5 Cordobas note shows Cacique Nicarao who was also featured on the previous 5 Cordobas issues from 1953-1960. Believed to be the chief of the tribe Nicarao, the indigenous population that inhabited the land on the South Western coast of modern day Nicaragua and North Western Coast of Costa Rica, that had made contact with Spanish explorers from Panama in the 1520s.
The rear of the note shows Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba, the Nicaraguan currency's namesake. He was a Spanish explorer and the founder of the cities of Leon and Granada in Nicaragua.
