背面描述	The reverse features the numeral 5 above the inscription CENTIMOS, centered within an open laurel and olive wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow, below which appears a small star flanked by two additional small stars. The legend AMERICA CENTRAL arcs along the upper periphery, with the mintmaster initials G.C.R. positioned at the lower right. Two stars flank the legend at the lower left and right of the field. The whole is enclosed by a beaded border.

附加信息	Piedforts — coins struck at double or greater thickness using standard dies — were almost never produced for general circulation, and Costa Rica's 1936 issue is no exception. These were almost certainly struck as presentation or specimen pieces, a practice common among smaller republics contracting European mints to produce their coinage. The Banco Internacional de Costa Rica oversaw monetary affairs at the time, operating in an increasingly unstable fiscal environment ahead of the 1936 currency reforms. The copper-nickel composition itself had only recently replaced older bronze types for low denominations, introduced partly under pressure from nickel-producing interests with commercial ties to Central American governments.
