The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica was established in 1914 as a state institution, absorbing functions previously spread across private banks. By the mid-1920s it held a near-monopoly on government financial operations, though it would eventually be reorganized into the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica in 1936. The 50 Colones denomination was a high-value note for the period — a significant sum in a country where coffee export revenue dominated the economy and most daily transactions never approached figures like this.
American Bank Note Company printed the series from their New York facilities, as was standard for Central American government contracts of the era. ABNC's involvement meant intaglio engraving of the quality Costa Rica's government demanded but could not produce domestically.
