Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1923 Costa Rican 1 Colón coin is that it features a unique counterstamp, which was added to the coin as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting. The counterstamp is a small image of a tree, which was stamped onto the coin after it was minted. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the same era and adds an extra layer of authenticity.
