| Additional information |
Costa Rica's colorized circulating coinage program, launched in the early 2020s, applied ink fills to the provincial series to distinguish denominations by region — a practical accessibility measure as much as an aesthetic one. The Cartago province issue honors the colonial capital that served as Costa Rica's seat of government until a series of devastating earthquakes in 1841 and 1910 repeatedly leveled the city, ultimately ceding political primacy to San José.
