Costa Rica 1997 100 colones rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen exemplifies the dreadful state of modern coin design. The drab, low relief design, accentuated by the dull material, failed to inspire any but the most devoted collectors of Central American coins. This type was struck 1995-99 and is accompanied by one, five, ten, twenty-five, fifty colones issues.

Recorded mintage: unknown but common.

Specification: brass.

Catalog reference: KM 230a.
