| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length figure of Juan Santamaría, Costa Rica's national hero, depicted standing atop a field cannon in a dynamic pose, raising a torch aloft in his right hand while holding a rifle in his left. The heroic figure is rendered in high relief against a polished field, commemorating his celebrated act of valor at the Battle of Rivas in 1856. The circular legend JUAN SANTAMARIA - HEROE NACIONAL curves along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border, while the date 1856 appears to the right. The denomination 200 COLONES is boldly inscribed in two lines across the lower portion of the field. |

Trial strikes — pruebas — occupy a strange administrative limbo in Latin American numismatics. They exist to test dies, planchet feed, and striking pressure before a production run is authorized, and they are rarely preserved with any intention of public release. That this example survives in gold-plated brass rather than the final alloy tells you the production decision was still unresolved at the time of striking.
The 1969 American Convention on Human Rights — signed in San José — gave Costa Rica a genuine claim to host this commemorative issue. The treaty came into force in 1978, eight years after this coin was struck.
