The 1979 date places this note at a precise historical hinge: the Somoza dictatorship fell in July of that year when Sandinista forces entered Managua. Banco Central notes of this denomination were already in circulation before the revolution, and the new government initially continued using existing stock rather than immediately issuing replacement currency — a pragmatic decision driven by the economic chaos of the transition.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement predates the Sandinista period; the printing contract was a holdover from the Somoza era.
