Banknote Billet Nicaragua 10 cordobas 2014

The 10 Córdobas banknote issued by Nicaragua on 26 March 2014 belongs to series A and is made of polymer, a synthetic material that gives the banknote increased durability compared to traditional cotton or paper banknotes. This polymer substrate also allows the integration of security features specific to this technology, such as transparent windows and holographic elements.

One of the notable features of this banknote is the representation of Salvador Allende Port, a port infrastructure and leisure centre located on the shores of Lake Managua, in the Nicaraguan capital. This site, named in tribute to former Chilean president Salvador Allende, is an iconic location in Nicaragua's cultural and economic life. Its presence on this banknote reflects the importance given to this place in the country's national identity.

The Córdoba, whose ISO code is NIO, has been the official currency of Nicaragua since 1912. It takes its name from Francisco Hernández de Córdoba, a Spanish conquistador and founder of Nicaragua's first cities. This 10 Córdobas banknote is part of a modern series of polymer banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Nicaragua as part of a modernisation of its fiduciary range.

The precisely indicated issue date of 26 March 2014 places this banknote within a period of technological transition for Nicaraguan fiduciary production, marking the gradual adoption of modern printing and security technologies for banknotes.
