| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Costa Rica displayed centrally in the field, depicting three volcanoes rising above the sea, two sailing ships flanking the central mountain range symbolizing access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and a rising sun to the upper left. Seven stars arc above the shield representing the seven provinces, and a laurel and coffee branch frame the escutcheon. The date appears in the exergue below the arms. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA around the upper periphery, with AMERICA CENTRAL along the lower periphery. |
