Costa Rica Anyone ?

Here is my latest world gold addition
1900 Costa Rica 10 Colones
NGC MS63

I love the reverse design!



An interesting fact ............... this coin was minted in the USA - Philadelphia mint. One of only six countires to have had circulating gold pieces struck in the USA (Cuba, Costa Rico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Mexico and Syria)

SilverEagle - The coat of arms looks even better in color - I decided to use it for the front cover of my new book coming out later this month (it was also used on their first postage stamp isue of 1863):

Nice job Richard. In color it does look great !!

National Coat of Arms – Features three volcanoes separating two oceans with the rising (or setting) sun, each with a sailing ship, noting Costa Rica’s location between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The five stars above represents the fact that Costa Rica was a member of the Central American Federation during the last century.
