| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bimetallic coin with a copper-nickel centre set within a nickel brass ring. The large numeral '500' dominates the centre field of the inner disc, with the denomination legend 'COLONES' inscribed below. A latent image security feature is incorporated in a ruled panel beneath the denomination. The legend 'BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA' arcs across the upper portion of the inner disc, while the outer ring bears the country name legend 'REPÚBLICA DE COSTA RICA' around its full circumference. Decorative rectangular elements are distributed along the lower arc of the outer ring, with small circular ornaments at each side. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The centre field of the inner disc depicts two renditions of the Costa Rican national coat of arms side by side: the original shield adopted in 1848 alongside the current official version, each featuring the characteristic three volcanoes rising from a valley between two oceans, surmounted by a rising sun, with the national flag displayed prominently in the centre composition. The commemorative legend arcs around the upper and lower fields of the outer ring, flanking the heraldic design with the anniversary inscription and date span. The patriotic motto of the national anthem appears in the lower portion of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Costa Rica's 500 colones bimetallic coin has been a workhorse of the circulating series since its introduction in the late 1990s, absorbing a denomination that inflation had rendered too inconvenient to handle in paper form. The Banco Central retired the corresponding banknote precisely because replacement costs for worn paper far exceeded the minting cost of a durable coin — a calculation repeated across Latin America during the same period.
