Approval Models, separate black and white face and green back, on card stock. The face starts as a photocopy and proceeds from there; the back is engraved. Also includes the following translation from hand written Spanish text at top of face: "Present model approved for its engraving and printing, with the following modifications: a) The series instead of being "F" must be "G". B) After "Acuerdo del Consejo Directivo" take out the abbreviation "No". The location of the legends "San Jose, Costa Rica" and "Serie G" should be interchanged, so that the latter may appear over the other." Signed January 10, 1941 by the Manager of the Banco Nacional. Magnificently preserved; of obvious rarity and importance.
