Costa Rica Banco Internacional 10 Colones 20.1.1932 Pick 181 PMG Very Fine 25. Featuring the first date of issue, this higher denomination and very scarce issued note remains quite pleasing despite circulation in a tropical climate. Light staining on the back does little to detract from the overall appearance of this Thomas de la Rue printed banknote. Actually quite a good grade for the type. Two examples sold in 2014 which may offer parameters for valuation; a raw "Fine" sold for $1,840, while a PCGS 35 Apparent $1,997. Costa Rica's small population and this note's high face value led very few to be saved for posterity. A rare opportunity. HID08701242017
Estimate: 1200-1500 USD
