| Obverse lettering | REPUB. DE CENT. DE AMER. 1846 (Translation: Central American Republic 1846) |
| Reverse description | Applied counterstamp depicting a tree dividing the denomination indication, all within a beaded circle, with the outer legend HABILITADA EN COSTA RICA J.B. identifying the authorizing official Juan Barth and the enabling authority of Costa Rica. A secondary small circular stamp bearing the numeral 8 is also present, confirming the face value of 8 Reales. The host coin is a cob-style macuquina of hammered fabric, with the irregular planchet typical of emergency coinage. The combination of stamps served to validate and re-denominate the host coin for official circulation within Costa Rica. |
