| Obverse description | The obverse bears the Costa Rican Type III counterstamp applied to the host coin's reverse field, consisting of a draped female effigy in left profile, her hair arranged in an upswept chignon, set within a dotted oval cartouche. The legend COSTA RICA arcs above the effigy within the stamp, while the denomination 2 R appears below. The counterstamp is struck over the original Spanish colonial milled coinage, with the underlying design of the host coin visible in the surrounding field. |
