Costa Rica 500 colones Partido de Nicoya Annexation PR69 PCGS bimetal coin 2024

Costa Rica 500 colones “200 Años de la Anexión del Partido de Nicoya” 1824–2024, 2024, bimetal commemorative coin, certified PR69DCAM by PCGS. This outstanding issue honors the bicentennial of the 1824 annexation of the Partido de Nicoya, when the region voluntarily chose to join Costa Rica, an act remembered as a peaceful declaration of unity and national identity.

The obverse presents a powerful allegorical composition: a young woman in traditional folkloric dress with a long braid and textured white blouse spreads a vivid red-and-white flag across the lower half of the coin. Behind her appears the iconic Guanacaste tree, symbol of the province, and the map of Costa Rica with the Nicoya region highlighted in green. The legend “200 AÑOS DE LA ANEXIÓN DEL PARTIDO DE NICOYA 1824–2024” encircles the design, together with the motto “De la patria por nuestra voluntad” and a geometric ornamental panel.

The reverse features the bold denomination “500 COLONES,” the date 2024, and the inscriptions “REPÚBLICA DE COSTA RICA” and “BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA,” set within a contrasting bimetal ring and finely lined lower field. The deep cameo contrast enhances every detail. Graded PR69DCAM by PCGS and preserved in its official holder, this near-perfect example is a premium addition to any modern world commemorative collection.
