| Obverse description | Plain field bearing the two-line inscription COSTA RICA in bold serif capital letters occupying the upper portion of the coin. Beneath the legend, a horizontal cord with a central reef knot is positioned in the lower field, its ends pointing downward. The design is austere and typographic, with no pictorial motifs. The irregular flan surface reflects the primitive minting conditions characteristic of early Costa Rican decimal coinage. |
