| Obverse description | Central display of the Costa Rican coat of arms, featuring three volcanoes rising from the sea beneath a rising sun, flanked by seven stars, and supported by a laurel and oak wreath tied at the base. The shield is surmounted by a flag and surrounded by additional decorative elements consistent with the national arms of the period. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA appears along the upper periphery, with the date 1873 positioned in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in a precise, engraved style typical of mid-19th century pattern coinage. |
