| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized pre-Columbian indigenous gold pendant in the form of a ceremonial figure, depicting a masked anthropomorphic deity with an elaborate headdress and two large curved appendages flanking a secondary face motif at the base, referencing the famous tumbaga goldwork traditions of ancient Costa Rica. The denomination 100 COLONES is inscribed in two lines in the lower field, with a small fineness mark 900 visible to the right. The upper peripheral legend ARTE INDIGENA DE ORO arcs around the design, flanked by dash separators, and the entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |
