Costa Rica 20 colones Venus de Milo KM-193 Statue Art PR67 PCGS silver coin 1970

The Costa Rica 20 Colones 1970 KM-193 silver Proof coin is a remarkable artistic issue dedicated to one of the most celebrated masterpieces of classical antiquity — the Venus de Milo. By placing this iconic sculpture on national coinage, Costa Rica honored universal art heritage while blending it with its own sovereign identity.

The obverse features a refined depiction of the Venus de Milo statue, shown standing gracefully with draped fabric falling around her hips. The sculptural contours, flowing folds, and classical proportions are rendered in elegant relief against a mirrored Proof field. The inscription “EL ARTE UNIVERSAL VENUS DE MILO” surrounds the figure, with the denomination “20 COLONES” below and a small “1000” mark indicating silver fineness. A beaded border frames the design.

The reverse presents the coat of arms of Costa Rica: three volcanoes rising above the sea, a sailing ship, radiant sun rays, five stars, and ornate scrollwork banners reading “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA” and “AMERICA CENTRAL.” The legend “REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA – AMERICA CENTRAL” encircles the rim, with the date 1970 and “B.C.C.R.” below.

Struck in silver in Proof quality and certified PCGS PR67, this coin unites classical sculpture, cultural heritage, and Latin American numismatics. An elegant addition for collectors of art-themed and world silver commemorative coins.
