| Beschrijving keerzijde | Counterstamp on the reverse of the host coin featuring a tree dividing the denomination within an inner circle, with the legend HABILITADA EN COSTA-RICA and the initials J.B. flanking the fractional real denomination 1• R• in the outer annulus. A secondary rectangular counterstamp bearing the numeral 4 within a square punch is also present, confirming the revalidated face value of 4 Reales. The combination of stamps reflects the emergency monetary revalidation practice carried out under the authority of the Costa Rican monetary administration. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Costa Rica lacked a functioning mint for most of the early republican period, relying instead on counterstamped foreign silver to serve domestic commerce. This Type IV application — the fourth iteration of Costa Rica's counterstamp program — was applied to circulating macuquina and milled coinage already in the monetary stream, effectively nationalizing foreign silver by fiat rather than by smelting and recoining it.
KM#51 is notoriously difficult to attribute cleanly: the host coin beneath the stamp matters considerably to specialists, and misattributed examples surface regularly at auction.
