A new coin.
The Costa Rica 50 Colones 1974 “Green Turtle” conservation issue is a stunning silver proof coin dedicated to marine wildlife protection. Struck by the Banco Central de Costa Rica, this impressive commemorative highlights the ecological importance of the green sea turtle, a species closely associated with the country’s Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, it offers exceptional eye appeal with deep mirrored fields and sharply frosted relief.
The reverse features a beautifully sculpted sea turtle swimming above flowing marine vegetation, accompanied by a smaller turtle below. The inscription “AMERICA CENTRAL” arcs across the top, while “50 COLONES” appears at the bottom within a finely beaded rim. The design captures motion and grace, emphasizing the conservation theme.
The obverse displays the detailed coat of arms of Costa Rica: three volcanoes rising between two oceans, a sailing ship in the foreground, radiant sun rays, stars above, and ribboned banners reading “AMERICA CENTRAL” and “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA.” The legend includes “B.C.C.R.” and the date 1974. A superb near-perfect certified example, ideal for collectors of wildlife, conservation, and Latin American silver commemoratives.
