| Reverse description | The central vignette occupies the majority of the field with a large intaglio-style rendering of a white-faced capuchin monkey (Mono carablanca, Cebus capucinus) perched over a mangrove crab (Cangrejo marinera, Goniopsis pulchra) against a lush mangrove forest underprint in green tones. A window with an optically variable teardrop element in blue-green appears at right centre, flanked by labelled botanical and wildlife annotations and yellow tropical flowers along both vertical borders; the denomination numeral 5 MIL COLONES is printed in large serif type at lower right. |
