The 1979 date places this note at the precise moment of the Sandinista Revolution — Somoza fled in July of that year, the FSLN took Managua, and the entire institutional apparatus of the state, including the Banco Central, changed hands within weeks. Notes bearing this date straddle that transition and were issued under two very different political realities depending on when in 1979 they actually entered circulation.
Thomas De La Rue printed the series in London, as they had done for Nicaragua across multiple regimes. The continuity of printer is worth noting — the incoming government had no immediate alternative and relied on existing contracts.
