| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse features the large numeral '50' prominently displayed in the center of the field, with the denomination 'COLONES' inscribed below in bold capital letters. A circular inner border frames the central motif, with two small decorative dots flanking the denomination legend on either side. The legend 'REPÚBLICA DE COSTA RICA' arcs along the outer rim, and the secondary legend 'BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA' appears in smaller lettering within the inner border at the top. The design is austere and typographic in character, consistent with the standard circulating 50 Colones coinage of Costa Rica. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents a vivid full-color depiction of a Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) swimming across the field, its intricately patterned carapace rendered in naturalistic shades of brown, amber, and olive through applied colorization. The background field features a lightly engraved relief suggesting a coral reef environment, with subtle organic textures evoking an underwater seascape. The curved legend 'ARRECIFE CORALINO' arcs prominently along the upper rim in raised capital letters. The date '2023' appears on the left side of the field, while the species' common and scientific names — 'Tortuga carey' and 'Eretmochelys imbricata' — are inscribed in italicized lettering along the lower portion of the field. |

Costa Rica's 2023 wildlife series reflects the country's long-standing constitutional mandate to protect its biodiversity — a legal framework that predates most international conservation agreements by decades. The hawksbill is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, and Costa Rican nesting beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts have been central to regional recovery programs since the 1990s.
The acrylic colorization process, increasingly used by smaller central banks seeking distinction without the expense of bimetallic tooling, is applied after striking rather than during it — making surface integrity over time a legitimate concern for long-term holders.
