Blue polymer tones give Costa Rica’s 2,000 Colones note the feeling of education opening into reef water, where civic learning and marine life share one modern security surface.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse is anchored by Mauro Fernández Acuña, with open books, the Colegio Superior de Señoritas building in San José, and a map of Costa Rica in SPARK Orbital colour-changing ink. The composition links public education, institutional reform, and advanced polymer security, placing national learning within the redesigned visual language of the colón.
Reverse
The reverse opens into a coral reef, with a bull shark moving across the marine scene beside a starfish, sea pens, turtles, and coral formations. The composition shifts from the classroom and printed page to the living reef, giving the denomination a wider ecological horizon rooted in Costa Rica’s coastal biodiversity.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this 2,000 Colones note is the 2018 P-281 Series B polymer issue with the Rodrigo Cubero Brealey / Eduardo Prado Zúñiga signature combination and a 40,000,000-note printed range. Its Oberthur Fiduciaire production, SPARK Orbital map, simulated security thread, security window strip, and place within Costa Rica’s award-winning 2018-2022 polymer conversion give the note a precise technical position in the country’s modern colón series.
