Descrizione del dritto	The large numeral denomination '100' dominates the central field, with the word 'COLONES' inscribed below in capital letters. The legend 'REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA' arcs along the outer rim, while the secondary legend 'BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA' appears in smaller lettering across the upper inner field. Two small raised dots flank the lower portion of the central design area, and a decorative segmented band runs along the lower inner border.

Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse features a dynamic depiction of a dancing couple performing the Swing Criollo, a traditional Costa Rican dance form. The male figure at left wears a hat and casual attire, while the female figure at right wears a flowing dress; both are shown in mid-step, holding hands at the centre of the composition. The background field is decorated with circular and geometric motifs suggestive of a festive atmosphere, with a stylised stage floor rendered in radial lines beneath the dancers. Musical notes and a staff are depicted along the lower arc of the design. The legend 'SWING CRIOLLO' appears in the upper right field, with the date '2025' below it along the right rim.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Costa Rica's colón coinage has undergone repeated reformulations in recent decades as the Central Bank navigated persistent inflationary pressure that repeatedly rendered lower denominations functionally worthless. The 100 colones denomination itself has existed in multiple compositional iterations since the 1990s. A "Creole Swing" designation on a circulating coin is unusual — likely referencing a cultural heritage or commemorative program rather than a standard circulation issue, though Costa Rica's Central Bank has periodically issued thematic coinage honoring national cultural traditions. Without confirmed mintage or release documentation for this 2025 issue, specifics remain unverifiable beyond the base specifications.
