The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica was a state-controlled institution created in 1914 after the government effectively nationalized the old Banco de Costa Rica's banking privileges. By 1929, it held a monopoly on currency issuance, a position it would retain until the Banco Central de Costa Rica absorbed its functions in 1950. This note belongs to that monopoly period — De La Rue produced the series in London as Costa Rica lacked domestic printing capacity for secure currency.
Pick 189 is the 10 Colones denomination from a broader series that ran through the late 1920s and into the 1930s. Surviving examples in any grade are not especially common, likely reflecting active use during a period of economic stress following the 1929 global crash.
