Commenti	Banco Anglo Costarricense was one of three private banks authorized to issue currency in Costa Rica under the 1900 banking law, a system that persisted until the government consolidated note-issuing authority in the 1930s. The Anglo's origins were British — it operated as the local arm of Anglo-South American banking interests — which makes the choice of the American Bank Note Company for this series a commercially pragmatic one rather than a nationally symbolic decision. The thirteen-year date span on this issue reflects continuous reissue from standing plates rather than a single print run. ABNC retained the intaglio dies, allowing the bank to order additional sheets as needed without redesign costs.
