Costa Rica's 1884 issue came during a period when the country had no functioning central bank — the República issued currency directly, with American Bank Note Company producing the plates in New York as it did for dozens of Latin American governments locked out of European printing arrangements or simply preferring ABNC's reliability. The relationship between Costa Rica and ABNC stretched across several decades and denominations, making individual dating within the series genuinely tricky without reference to serial number ranges.
Pick 121 is among the scarcer denominations of the direct-republic issues. The 10 Pesos face value placed it above everyday transactional use in a country where most commerce ran on far smaller figures, which likely suppressed circulation and paradoxically reduced survival rates through destruction rather than wear.
