| Reverse description | The reverse presents the host coin's original United States half dollar eagle design, showing a heraldic eagle with spread wings, holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons, with a shield on its breast and a scroll in its beak. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the periphery, and the denomination 50 C appears above the eagle. A rectangular counterstamp punch bearing a small figure — identified as the mintmark or assayer's mark of the Costa Rican mint — has been applied to the left field, serving as an additional validation mark applied by Costa Rican authorities in 1846. |
