Interesting fact
The 25,000 Colones Oscar Arias coin was minted in 1987 to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II to Costa Rica. It is made of .900 gold and weighs 15 grams. It is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. This coin is considered a rare and valuable piece among collectors, especially those interested in religious or papal memorabilia.
