<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2679364, member: 24274&quot;]ABNC produced dozens of strikingly beautiful and colorful notes for Costa Rica in the 1890s and early 1900s. This 20 colones note from the 1901 series shows a mining scene, which was also used on two stocks: Beech Creek Coal and Coke Co. and Mt. Olive Consolidated Coal and Coke.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]598626[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]598627[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]598629[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This 5 sucre 1949 note from the Central Bank of Ecuador uses an allegorical figure of Harvest. She shows up again, without so much fruit, on a stock for the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Rwy Co. The stock was printed in the 1870s, so this was most likely the vignette&#039;s original form.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]598630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]598631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]598632[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, one of my favorite vignettes -- I think this figure represents Literature. She appears on a rare 2 peso note from the Dominican Republic. But she is a lot more affordable on this common stock certificate of the National Tea Company.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]598633[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]598634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]598635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
