BCCR - Coinage Downsizing & Plated Steel Era (1983-1996)
Total items: 4
A major transitional coinage phase triggered by the economic reforms of the early 1980s. To combat rising production costs, the BCCR eliminated fractional centimos and downsized the core Colon denominations. This era marks the introduction of lightweight brass-plated and nickel-plated steel-core blanks, maintaining the national heraldry but optimizing thickness and diameters for modern commerce.
