| 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.
