| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica was established in 1914 as a state-owned institution, replacing the private banking arrangement that had previously dominated note issuance in the country. By 1918, with the First World War disrupting European trade routes and commodity prices for Costa Rican coffee exports fluctuating sharply, the bank was under pressure to maintain liquidity and public confidence simultaneously.
ABNC printed several denominations for this institution across overlapping series, and distinguishing P#169A from P#169B typically comes down to signature combinations — a detail that trips up collectors more often than the catalog suggests.
