Denomination numerals "50" appear in each corner, and the caption "EL CASTILLO DE LA INMACULADA CONCEPCION, RIO SAN JUAN" is inscribed beneath the central vignette. |

Nicaragua's 2006 note issues came during a period of relative monetary stability following the catastrophic hyperinflation of the late 1980s, when the córdoba lost so much value that the country eventually replaced it entirely with the "córdoba oro" in 1990, then gradually reintroduced the plain córdoba denomination structure. By 2006 the Banco Central had settled into a managed crawling peg against the US dollar, and the 50 córdoba denomination occupied genuine everyday utility rather than symbolic space.
Cotton substrate with watermark and embedded security thread places this squarely within the bank's standard security specification for the period — no unusual printing anomalies are documented for P#198.
