Costa Rica
Republic gold 1/2 Onza 1850-JB AU58 NGC, San Jose mint, KM100. Nearly as-struck in terms of surface quality, however the central motifs, as was often the case with this type, show considerable bluntness which obscures much of the native's finer details as well as a portion of the corresponding Costa Rican coat of arms. Still, among the very finest known, and for the collector endeavoring to collect Costa Rica by type, a key coin in the series.
