| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica was established in 1914 as a state-owned institution created specifically to absorb the insolvent Banco de Costa Rica — the timing of this note's issue reflects that transitional moment directly. The American Bank Note Company handled printing for a broad sweep of Latin American governments during this period, and Costa Rica was a reliable client across multiple series.
P#161 is scarce in any grade, likely because 10 Colones represented substantial purchasing power in 1914 Costa Rica and notes of this value tended to circulate hard before wearing out entirely.
