The story

The Central Bank says every denomination shows the coat of arms with a local bird on the front, and the back shows the Central Bank building with a scene central to the country’s economic life. On this note the bird is the blue-crowned motmot, and the back shows a produce market. Notes with series dates before 2020 are no longer legal tender but can be redeemed indefinitely at the Central Bank.
