2015 Costa Rica 2000 Colones Prefix A Serial Number Set of 10 UNC Notes Crisp

Offered here is a consecutive set of 10 Crisp Uncirculated banknotes from Costa Rica, each with a face value of 2,000 Colones, issued by the Banco Central de Costa Rica in 2015. These notes all carry the desirable Prefix A serial numbers, representing an early print run from this issue.

Catalogued as part of Costa Rica’s 2012–2019 polymer-style banknote family, this series showcases the country’s rich cultural heritage and extraordinary biodiversity.

Design & Features:

• Obverse (Front): Portrait of Mauro Fernández Acuña (1843–1905), a leading Costa Rican lawyer, politician, and educator known for his reforms in public education. In the background is the Edificio del Colegio Superior de Señoritas (a historic educational institution). A map of Costa Rica in red is featured at the top right.

• Reverse (Back): A vibrant underwater scene of a coral reef ecosystem, with a prominent bull shark (Tiburón toro) swimming among fish, coral, and a starfish, symbolizing Costa Rica’s rich marine life and commitment to conservation.

• Security Features: See-through window with embossed elements, transparent register, microtext, color-shifting ink, raised intaglio print, and UV-visible features, all characteristic of Costa Rica’s modern security design.

Historical Significance:
Costa Rica’s colorful banknote family introduced in the 2010s was designed not only to modernize the currency but also to emphasize the nation’s environmental identity. The 2,000 Colones note is one of the most recognizable in the series due to its striking marine theme. Prefix A notes are particularly desirable, marking the first issue of the series.
