COSTA RICA. Banco Internacional de Costa Rica. 20 Colones, ND (1916). P-169As. Specimen. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ. Series B. Lightly mishandled specimen of this scarce type from Costa Rica. Tied with one other at this grade level in the PMG population report with just one finer. An extremely short-lived type, of which just 5,850 notes were produced for circulation. For some unknown reason this type was discontinued and soon replaced by a different design. It is believed just three issued examples are known, including a handful of specimens, including the present example. Prime opportunity for the Costa Rican specialist to acquire an example of this rare type.
