The Ferro Carril de Costa Rica was the short-lived railway concession tasked with building Costa Rica's first rail line — a project that consumed foreign capital, stalled repeatedly, and never reached completion under its original charter. These peso notes were issued as a private scrip currency to facilitate payroll and local transactions along the construction corridor, a common workaround in mid-nineteenth century Central America where coined money was chronically scarce in remote working camps.
American Bank Note Company's involvement placed this firmly in the premium tier of Latin American private scrip — ABNC engraving was expensive, and commissioning it signaled an intent to project institutional credibility as much as to print functional currency.
