1 Cordoba

Nicaragua's mid-century córdoba series, of which this 1962 note is part, was produced during a period of relative monetary stability under the Somoza family's grip on the country's financial institutions. The Banco Central itself had only been established in 1961, making this among the earliest issues under its authority — predecessor notes had circulated under the Banco Nacional de Nicaragua.

ABNC's engraved intaglio work on this series is characteristically sharp, and the company's New York presses handled Nicaraguan currency almost exclusively through this period.
