Costa Rica 100 Colones 1987 commemorates President Óscar Arias and his Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for his decisive role in promoting peace in Central America. Struck in nickel and certified PCGS MS66, this impressive issue honors one of the most significant political achievements in modern Costa Rican history.
The obverse features a detailed portrait of Dr. Óscar Arias, facing left, surrounded by the inscription “PREMIO NOBEL DE LA PAZ 1987.” The dates 1986 and 1990 appear beside the bust, marking his presidential term, while the legend “DR. OSCAR ARIAS PRESIDENTE DE LA REPUBLICA” curves along the lower rim. A beaded border frames the composition, emphasizing the crisp relief and satin surfaces.
The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Costa Rica beneath the inscription “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA.” The shield shows three volcanoes, ocean waves, a sailing ship, radiant sun rays, five stars, and decorative scrollwork crowned with “AMERICA CENTRAL.” The denomination “CIEN COLONES” and the date 1987 complete the design.
Graded MS66 by PCGS, this high-quality commemorative piece beautifully reflects Costa Rica’s diplomatic legacy and commitment to peace. A remarkable addition for collectors of political history and Latin American coinage.
