Costa Rica 100 colones Year of the Child KM-206 Bird PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1979

The Costa Rica 100 Colones 1979 “Year of the Child” KM-206 silver coin is a touching tribute to childhood and the International Year of the Child proclaimed in 1979. Issued by the Republic of Costa Rica, this commemorative piece beautifully combines national symbolism with a tender wildlife motif, making it both meaningful and artistically refined.

The obverse features three young birds standing in a carefully detailed nest, their beaks open as if calling for food. Fine feather textures, delicate leaves beneath the nest, and a beaded border enhance the composition. The inscription “AÑO INTERNACIONAL DEL NIÑO” arcs along the rim, with the date 1979 below. The reverse displays the ornate coat of arms of Costa Rica: three volcanoes, a sailing ship on the sea, rising sun rays, stars above, and banners reading “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA” and “AMERICA CENTRAL,” surrounded by the legend “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA” and the denomination “CIEN COLONES.”

Struck in silver in Proof quality and certified PCGS PR67, this coin belongs to a significant commemorative issue dedicated to children and future generations. A symbol of care, hope, and national pride, it is an excellent addition to any collection of world silver coins or UNICEF-themed releases.
