备注	Costa Rica's 1885 50 Pesos predates the country's shift to the colón system, which came with the 1896 monetary reform that wiped out the peso entirely. The República de Costa Rica issued notes directly under state authority during this period rather than through a central bank — the Banco Nacional wouldn't consolidate that function until decades later. American Bank Note Company held a near-monopoly on Central American government printing through the late nineteenth century, and Costa Rica was a reliable client. Pick 123 is genuinely scarce. Few examples surface in the auction record, and survivors are almost invariably cancelled.
