Nicaragua 1000 Córdobas(Centenary of Death of Ruben Dario)

Description

The Córdoba is the official currency in Nicaragua since 1912, replacing the “peso current currency”. The country had a period of monetary chaos that caused the inclusion of córdoba in 3 different stages, the last being after the 1990s. Notes were introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 25 centavos, ½, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 córdobas. Coins between 1994 and 1997 replaced the 1 and 5 córdobas notes. The 500 córdobas note were included five years later. In 2015 the Banco Central de Nicaragua issued a new series of notes in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 córdobas, followed by the 1000 córdoba note in 2016.

The 1000 Córdobas note front features Rubén Dario, who was a Nicaraguan poet. The reverse note side has a verse from the poem Pax a dove of peace. This note is part of the 2016 commemorative series Centenary of Death of Ruben Dario and, its color is green. (161 x 67 mm).
