| Comments |
Nicaragua's 1984–85 period was deep into Sandinista economic management, with inflation accelerating sharply — the córdoba was already being eroded well before the catastrophic hyperinflation of the late 1980s that would eventually force a redenomination at 1,000-to-1 in 1988. That Thomas De La Rue continued to print for Managua during this period reflects the practical reality that ideological posture rarely extended to abandoning established security printers when no domestic alternative existed.
P#141 carries only a watermark as its declared security feature — relatively light provision for a high-denomination note, though consistent with the series.
