The Banco Nacional de Costa Rica was created in 1914 as the country's first state-owned bank, but its note-issuing authority was repeatedly contested by private banks well into the 1930s. By 1939, the political consolidation was largely settled, and ABNC-printed notes of this type represented the stable face of that resolution — high-security intaglio production from New York, delivered to a Central American institution that had fought hard for its dominant position.
American Bank Note Company's work for Costa Rica through this period is consistent in quality. The cotton substrate on this series is known to brown at the folds under tropical storage conditions, which affects a disproportionate share of surviving examples.
