Nicaragua – Banknotes

Nicaraguan banknotes include issues of the Nicaraguan córdoba and, previously, the gold córdoba, reflecting the country’s economic, political and cultural development from the 20th century to the present. The series feature historical figures, national heritage, indigenous elements, natural landscapes, local fauna and flora and symbolic motifs representing Nicaraguan identity, accompanying monetary reforms, periods of instability and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, variants, signatures and historical relevance within Central America, Nicaraguan paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
