| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts five volcanic peaks rising from a plain beneath a radiant sunburst, with a walking lion passant positioned above the peaks within the rays. The scene is enclosed by a circular border. The peripheral legend reads REPUB. DEL CENTROAMERICA, with a date visible at the base of the design. The overall style is characteristic of Central American Republic coinage of the early nineteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Costa Rica's mid-century gold fractionals present a genuinely tangled minting history. The Type VII counterstamp designation reflects the government's repeated practice of authenticating and revalidating circulating coinage through official punching — a necessary response to the flood of underweight and debased foreign gold that moved through Central American trade routes during the 1840s and 1850s.
KM#80 encompasses nearly a decade of issue, and the host coins beneath the counterstamp vary considerably in origin.
