| Reverse description | Reverse displays the reverse face of the host Mexican silver coin, heavily worn, with partial remnants of the original legend visible along the lower and upper periphery, including fragmentary Latin lettering. The field is broadly flat and deeply worn, retaining only traces of the original Mexican Republic or colonial design. The off-center round hole, punched through the flan, interrupts the lower-right quadrant of the design. The edge of the host coin shows evidence of cutting to reduce the planchet to the appropriate weight and denomination for Costa Rican emergency currency use. |
