Owner's Description

This note has a pair of sea turtles that show on both the front and back of the note. Throughout the world, there are seven species of sea turtles. Five of those species are present in Nicaragua. The five species in Nicaragua are the Green turtle, the Hawksbill turtle, the Leatherback turtle, the Loggerhead Turtle, and the Olive Ridley Turtle. Based on the way they drew the shell and the neck, I want to say this note is trying to depict a loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) - but I haven't found anything that confirms this.
