5000 colones banknote from the Central Bank of Costa Rica, dated 1999, Pick 268a, uncirculated.

Obverse: motifs of indigenous Costa Rican art, without a portrait of any historical figure. Reverse: a toucan, a jaguar, a local carving, and a pre-Columbian stone sphere among ferns, in homage to the country's archaeological heritage and fauna; the watermark repeats the figure of the toucan.

Unlike other denominations of the period, this banknote eschews portraits of national heroes and focuses on pre-Columbian culture and Costa Rican tropical nature, an approach that distinguishes it within the late 1990s colones series and appeals to collectors of banknotes with fauna and archaeological motifs.

“My experience with Iberoamericana Banknotes has been excellent: guaranteed authenticity, personalized advice, and a very wide selection of banknotes from rare countries. I bought a rare Rwandan banknote with a certificate, and it exceeded my expectations.”
