| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-color acrylic-applied depiction of the marine mangrove crab Goniopsis pulchra rendered in naturalistic detail at center, its carapace shown in deep blue-black with white spotting, and its eight walking legs and two prominent chelae (claws) displaying a striking yellow-and-black mottled pattern with orange-red highlights on the upper chelae. The background field features a subtly textured, low-relief rendering suggestive of a tidal mudflat or mangrove shoreline, incorporating a stylized silhouette map of Costa Rica. The legend 'MANGLAR' is inscribed in incuse capital letters along the upper arc, with the date '2023' positioned vertically along the left inner field. The species names 'Cangrejo marinera' and 'Goniopsis pulchra' are inscribed in italic script in the lower field, identifying the subject with scientific precision. |
