| Obverse description | The obverse presents a vignette of Hacienda San Jacinto in Tipitapa, rendered in intaglio in a dominant green palette, with the colonial-era structure set against a lightly guilloche-patterned underprint. The numeral '1000' appears in large intaglio figures at the lower right, with the Nicaraguan national coat of arms in a circular vignette to the upper right. Two serial numbers are printed vertically at left and horizontally at right, with facsimile signatures of bank officials below the central vignette. |

The C$1,000 note is Nicaragua's highest denomination in regular circulation, introduced as part of a broader series refresh that coincided with the Banco Central's push to reduce reliance on small-denomination notes worn down by tropical humidity and heavy street use. Cotton substrate helps, but high-value notes in Nicaragua typically cycle out faster than collectors expect — commercial use is concentrated in Managua's informal markets, where handling is rough and storage conditions accelerate deterioration.
Pick 215 carries only a watermark and security thread as machine-verifiable features, a relatively modest security specification for a four-figure denomination by contemporary central bank standards.
