Today, we’re taking a tour through one of the most fascinating places in San José, Costa Rica: The Central Bank Museums. It’s a treasure trove — literally — sitting right beneath the Plaza de la Cultura. We’ll travel from the glittering artistry of the Pre-Columbian gold rooms, through the hammered silver coins of the Spanish Conquest, into the vibrant designs of modern Costa Rican paper money, and finally… well… I’m going to go on a small rant about how gorgeous their money is compared to ours. #history #numismatics #coin #costarica #precolumbian
