Bridging the Central American isthmus between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean with its highland capital at San José, Costa Rica is globally renowned for its ecological conservation and coffee heritage. Replacing the peso in 1896, the Costa Rican colón (CRC)—named after Christopher Columbus—has featured 19th-century coffee counterstamps, gold-rich pre-Columbian motifs, and modern bimetallic and brass circulation coins.
