| Opschrift voorzijde | REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA 50 COLONES (Translation: Republic of Costa Rica Central Bank of Costa Rica) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistic depiction of the silky anole (Norops sericeus) occupies the centre of the field, rendered in high relief perched upon a rock surface with its elongated tail sweeping across the lower portion of the coin. Behind the lizard, a stylised outline map of Costa Rica emerges from a textured background evoking dry tropical forest foliage. The legend 'BOSQUE TROPICAL SECO' curves along the upper periphery. Below the central design, the common name 'Lagartija o anolis' and the scientific name 'Norops sericeus' are inscribed in two lines. The date '2023' appears to the left within the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Costa Rica's colón coinage has undergone several modernization cycles, and the current nickel brass circulation series — of which this is part — replaced older stainless steel types as the central bank rationalized denominations in the early 2000s. The 50 colones piece has remained the workhorse of everyday transactions, particularly in markets and on public buses where exact fare is still expected.
The silky anole, Norops tropidolepis, is endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama — a deliberate choice in a series celebrating endemic fauna rather than the charismatic megafauna most countries default to.
