COSTA RICA. 250 Colones, 1982-FM. Pennsylvania (Franklin) Mint. PCGS PROOF-69 Deep Cameo.
KM-212. Jaguar conservation series. A tantalizing jaguar bust stares menacingly at the viewer, seemingly ready to leap out of the flan and pounce! Each whisker is intricately contrasted by a sharp cameo finish to the fields, the devices bathed in a rich satin glow. All considered, it comes as no surprise that this early 1980s issue has since achieved great popularity on the numismatic market. Quite an excellent acquisition for the next collector who dares own such a dramatic piece.

Estimate: $700
