| Reverse description | A full-length standing stag with antlers is depicted in the central field against a tropical backdrop featuring palm trees, shoreline vegetation, and a coastal landscape evocative of Cocos Island. Small decorative motifs appear along the lower exergual border. The denomination '250' appears prominently to the right of the stag, with the currency unit 'piastros' inscribed below in the field. The design is executed in high-relief proof style with frosted devices against a mirrored field. |

| Additional information |
Cocos Island is an uninhabited Costa Rican territory in the Pacific with no indigenous currency, no economy, and no permanent population — making "250 Piastros" a denomination that has never bought anything anywhere. These collector-market issues proliferate under phantom jurisdictions precisely because no central bank or monetary authority exists to object.
