Comment
The size and space between letters on the obverse vary depending on the year along with the outer rim of Coat of Arms being slightly different.Interesting fact
The 25 Colones coin from Costa Rica features a unique segmented edge, which is created by a process called "milling" or "reeding." This process involves cutting grooves into the edges of the coin to create a textured surface. The segmented edge on the 25 Colones coin is particularly interesting because it is designed to resemble the ridges on a traditional Costa Rican woven basket, which is a nod to the country's indigenous culture and heritage.
