| Obverse description | Central device depicts the national coat of arms of Costa Rica, featuring a volcanic landscape between two oceans with a rising sun, enclosed within a wreath of branches and surmounted by a flagged staff. The heraldic shield is rendered in low relief and supported by the surrounding laurel-style wreath. A curved legend arcs across the upper field, with the date appearing in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | A tree divides the central field, serving as the primary design element. The denomination is inscribed on either side of the tree trunk in the center of the field. A curved legend occupies the upper portion of the field, while the lower area bears the fineness expressed in reales and granos alongside the assayer's initials, all struck in a clean, utilitarian style characteristic of Central American republican coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. |
