| Additional information |
Costa Rica's bicentenary fell on September 15, 2021 — exactly 200 years after the Act of Independence of Central America was signed in Guatemala City, a document that dissolved the region's ties to Spain without a single shot fired on Costa Rican soil. The country had no independence war, no founding battle; the news arrived by courier nearly a month after the fact.
The colored variant of this issue was produced for the collector market alongside the standard circulation strike, a distinction captured in the KM suffix.
