| Additional information |
Costa Rica's Banco Central has intermittently issued colorized circulating coinage since the early 2000s, a practice more common among commemorative programs in smaller economies where the collector market subsidizes production costs. The Guanacaste Province issue belongs to a regional series celebrating Costa Rica's seven provinces, a program with no particular political urgency behind it — straightforward cultural promotion through numismatic channels.
Guanacaste was annexed from the Federation of Central America in 1824, following a local plebiscite — the province's residents voted to join Costa Rica rather than Nicaragua, a decision still marked by Guanacaste Day on July 25.
