| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica had a complicated institutional identity by the late 1930s — it operated simultaneously as a commercial bank and as the government's fiscal agent, with the Caja de Conversión functioning as the monetary authority responsible for maintaining the colón's exchange peg. Both names appearing on a single note reflects that dual arrangement rather than any printing error or reissue circumstance.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement here is unremarkable for the region — they held numerous Central American contracts through this period. What matters more is that this series was among the last issued under the old dual-authority structure before the 1940 banking reforms reorganized Costa Rica's financial institutions entirely.
