Reverse description A vignette at left portrays a crowd of agrarian reform demonstrators marching and carrying a banner inscribed with a well-known Sandinista slogan, rendered in a blue letterpress style against a pale guilloche underprint centred on a sunburst motif. A large black typographed overprint of '500.000 QUINIENTOS MIL CÓRDOBAS' dominates the right half of the note. Cotton plant sprigs with blossoms frame the left border, while ornate rosette medallions appear at each corner.
