Owner's Description

These banknotes were authorised for emission through an executive decree # 236 on the 2nd of January 1980 for 3 million 50 Cordobas notes to be issued.

The same purple colour and style was used however the design has changed for this note. On the obverse is Comandante Carlos Fonseca Amador he was one of the founders of the Frente Sandinista and was killed in 1976 3 years prior to the Sandinistas taking power in 1979. His portrait would be used on the following issue 50 Cordoba notes and the 10 Cordoba note from 1988.

On the reverse of the banknote is a scene depicting the day of liberation (dia de liberacion) on the 19th of July 1979 showing a large crowd of Sandinista sympathisers celebrating in front of the Cathedral in Managua. This same design would be used on the 1988 1000 Cordobas banknotes also.
