| 正面描述 | Multicolour note with orange and green guilloche borders framing the central design. A portrait vignette of a male figure in 19th-century attire is centred within an elaborate dark intaglio oval surround, flanked on either side by the numeral 5 set against intricate geometric underprint work. The bank name EL BANCO ANGLO COSTARRICENSE arches across the top, with the denomination CINCO COLONES in bold letterpress below the portrait, followed by the legend EN MONEDA NACIONAL DE ORO and a partially printed date reading San José, 1º de Enero de 19__, with EL PRESIDENTE and EL ADMINISTRADOR signature titles at lower left and right respectively. |

Banco Anglo Costarricense was a British-backed commercial bank operating in Costa Rica under concession from the government, one of three private banks authorized to issue currency before the Banco Internacional de Costa Rica took over the monopoly in 1914. This note falls within the transitional years when that privilege was being wound down — notes issued after 1914 under this series were technically still valid but the political ground had already shifted.
The American Bank Note Company held a near-total grip on Central American currency printing during this period, and the S122 series reflects their standard intaglio production for the region. Known examples show significant foxing along the margins, likely a result of Costa Rica's humid storage conditions rather than heavy use.
