Costa Rica, 1 real, 1847 JB, "Madonna and child," NGC Genuine / SS Central America Shipwreck Label. KM-66. Very rare type that was legal tender in the United States up until February 1857.

Very popular Costa Rican coin design with Madonna and child on the obverse; first example that we have offered. Dark surfaces with some verdigris yet bold details underneath. Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina
