Costa Rica 500 colones Partido de Nicoya Annexation PR68 PCGS bimetal coin 2024

Costa Rica 500 colones “200 Años de la Anexión del Partido de Nicoya” 1824–2024, 2024, bimetal commemorative coin, graded PR68 by PCGS. This modern issue marks the bicentennial of the historic annexation of Nicoya, when in 1824 the region voluntarily chose to unite with Costa Rica—an event remembered as a peaceful affirmation of identity and national unity.

The obverse features a finely detailed allegorical scene: a young woman in traditional folkloric attire with a long braid and textured white blouse spreads a flowing red-and-white flag, its shimmering color vividly contrasting the metallic surface. Behind her rises the iconic Guanacaste tree, while the map of Costa Rica appears with the Nicoya region highlighted in green. The rim bears the inscription “200 AÑOS DE LA ANEXIÓN DEL PARTIDO DE NICOYA 1824–2024” and the motto “De la patria por nuestra voluntad,” complemented by a geometric ornamental panel.

The reverse displays the bold “500 COLONES,” date 2024, and the inscriptions “REPÚBLICA DE COSTA RICA” and “BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA,” set within a contrasting outer ring and lined lower segment. The bimetal construction enhances depth and visual appeal. Certified PR68 by PCGS, this coin is an outstanding tribute to Costa Rican heritage and a strong addition to any world commemorative collection.
