| Opmerkingen |
Costa Rica's 1865 Peso predates the country's formal national banking system by more than a decade — the Banco Nacional came later, and in the early independence period the Ministerio de Hacienda issued notes directly as a treasury function rather than through any chartered institution. This note is among the earliest paper currency attributable to Costa Rican state authority, and Pick's numbering reflects how sparse and poorly documented this pre-banking material actually is.
Survivors are exceptionally rare. The 1860s Costa Rican economy ran heavily on coin, and paper issues from the Hacienda saw limited acceptance outside government transactions.
