| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-body marine iguana rendered in teal tones dominates the centre and right of the note, set against a multicoloured geometric underprint scattered with repeated '500' microprint numerals. A yellow Galápagos moth vignette appears at upper centre-right, while a small map of the archipelago is inset at upper left and a portrait medallion of a uniformed historical figure sits within a guilloche border at lower right. The denomination '500 / QUINIENTOS NUEVOS SUCRES' is inscribed in large characters at upper left, with 'Islas Galápagos' and '500' at lower left. |

No such institution as the Galapagos Islands Central Bank has ever existed. Ecuador's Galapagos Islands have no independent monetary authority — the province uses the US dollar, which replaced the sucre when Ecuador dollarized in 2000. The "Nuevos Sucres" denomination is doubly fictional: the sucre was discontinued before any "nuevo" iteration was ever issued, unlike the Peruvian sol or Argentine peso which underwent formal currency redenominations.
This is a privately produced fantasy note with no issuing authority, no legal tender status, and no historical basis. Collector interest is purely novelty-driven.
