COSTA RICA. Banco Internacional de Costa Rica 2 Colones, 1931-36. P-167cts.
Color trial specimen printed by W&S in black and multicolored. The most
technically pleasing "Mona Lisa Note" we have had the pleasure of handling. The
note is fully Uncirculated and shows with a definitive black tone in the
bordering design as opposed to the issued brown inks for the design. Strong
color of the multicolored under-prints and guilloche add nice contrast. The
Ox-cart vignette on the back shows in a green hue in favor of the typical black
inks. Four punch cancels and diagonal overprints on face and back. The last we
handled for the catalog number was a PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ issued note, which realized $10,575.00 as lot 20085 in our August 2012 ANA sale. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 Net. Previously Mounted.
