Description
Costa Rica – Scott #556 (2002) MNH – Puente de la Amistad de Taiwán (Bridge of Friendship)
Issued in 2002, this 95 colones commemorative from Costa Rica features the Puente de la Amistad de Taiwán (Bridge of Friendship) spanning the Río Tempisque in Guanacaste Province. The bridge, a gift from Taiwan to Costa Rica, symbolizes diplomatic friendship and engineering cooperation between the two nations.
The design captures the bridge’s elegant red-and-white structure against the sweeping blue waters and sky of northwestern Costa Rica. Printed in vivid photogravure, the stamp celebrates modernization and international partnership at the start of the 21st century.
This example is mint, never hinged (MNH), with full original gum and excellent centering — a fine addition for collectors of bridges, Latin American architecture, or Costa Rican commemoratives.
