The Secretaría de Hacienda — the Treasury, not a commercial bank — issued this note directly, which places it outside the mainstream of Costa Rican banking history. In this period, note-issuing authority in Costa Rica was fragmented among private banks and state bodies, a situation that persisted until the Banco Internacional de Costa Rica consolidated matters in 1914. This note belongs to the transitional years just before that change.
ABNC production from their New York plant meant engraved intaglio printing to a consistently high technical standard. The series ran across the 1910–1914 window, and differentiating dates within that span typically requires examining the manuscript or stamped date rather than any typographic variation.
