These notes for 1910 have two different signature varieties. The banknotes all feature Christopher Columbus on the obverse of the notes.
From what I could find these notes were originated through a contract from the Government with a wealthy businessman by the name of Alfredo Pellas (his descendants are still very prominent business owners running several successful businesses within Nicaragua including the famous Nicaraguan Rum Flor de Caña) on the 9th of January 1910. For the 50 Centavos notes there was to be 1.5 million printed with a face value of 750,000 pesos.
There was an executive decree #122 on the 27th of March 1911 under the new government authorising to print the same amount of notes but this time they were printed with the signature new President Juan Estrada. Based on the serial numbers they continued this series from 1500000 through to 3000000.
This particular note is of the B type with the second signature variety. In the other sets you will find the other signature variety.
Later some of these notes were overprinted in 1912 to have a new face value of 4 centavos (P50).
Christopher Columbus was of course the famous Italian explorer that mistakenly had discovered the Americas.

This particular note is a specimen of the A type with the first signature variety.

These new Fractional 10 Centavo notes were printed by ABNC for the new National currency the Cordoba. They were dated 1912 but the first notes were actually printed in October 1914.
There was a total of 5.75 million notes produced from 1914 through to 1926, broken down over multiple (6) emissions with different signatures and Prefixes. The particular note the Prefix B was produced in October 1918 and there was 2 million notes for this prefix.
The design was used again in 1937 and 1938 before being phased out and replaced with coins.

Just like the fractional banknotes the 1938 1 Cordoba had two different design releases in the same year.
These banknotes had the same design as those issued previously in 1932 and 1937. They were printed by ABNC (American Bank Note Company). They feature the effigy of woman (believed to be French) with an exposed breast on the obverse and the national coat of arms on the reverse.
I believe there to have been 600,000 1 Cordoba banknotes produced. Released via two decrees into circulation.
The first executive decree number 96 on the 14th of November 1938 authorised the release of 200,000 with serial numbers 000001 through to 200000.
The second executive decree number 105 on the 22nd of December 1938 authorised a further release of 400,000 banknotes from serial number 200001 through to 600000.

These 2 Cordobas notes were authorised to enter circulation through the executive decree # 14 on the 9th of November 1939 as part of the larger order from the 2nd of June 1939.
A total of 500,000 notes were issued from serial number 000001 through to 500000 with a face value of 1 million cordobas.
These were a new completely different design that would be carried forward to the 1941 and 1945 issues.

These all new design banknotes for 1927 were approved through an executive decree # 134 on the 14th of June 1927. The same design would be carried through until 1951.
The obverse of this note features cattle whilst the rear features the National coat of arms.
The decree doesn't mention the amount of banknotes ordered, however information from a book of the ABNC archives shows that for 1927 there was two lots produced each of 100,000 notes (000001 - 100000 & 100001 to 200000) in March of 1928. There was 400,000 notes produced for 1938 series and 200,000 notes for the 1939 series.
