The shield is surmounted by seven stars representing the seven provinces and framed by a laurel wreath. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA appears around the periphery, with the date below the arms. |

The initials B.N.C.R., representing the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, are divided by the wreath, appearing at left and right. The legend AMERICA CENTRAL arcs across the upper periphery, with the wreath and lettering rendered in a clean, unadorned style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Latin American coinage. |
