I'm not really a coin guy, but I found these 4 coins buried in my miscellaneous silver pile. They are too nice to be thrown into my junk silver stash. They are in exceptional condition, and they are struck in .925 silver. I would trade them for generic silver bars/rounds, or some other kind of silver.
These Costa Rican coins each contain more than 1 oz troy of silver. 1.0409 oz troy to be exact.

THE BELL RINGER OF THE PARISH OF CARTAGO
Under the influence of the rigorous cold of a classic Christmas day, Tio Pablo snuggled up three times and wrapped himself in his mattress to wait for the time to ring the prayer bell.
The cold, and a few greetings to a fat squash that accompanied him, soon reduced him to a deep sleep. He awoke at Matins time, grumbling:
- Ring the bells Tio, even if it rains, hails, or freezes and your gourd is not well supplied, and you get a seizure, you be ready for when your master the Priest informs you of the death of a defunct or the birth of a living to toll or ring.
At the end of the soliloquy, the old bell ringer went to ring the prayer bells and said: - May those who are Christians pray soon, for I promise you that this time, 60 minutes will not pass from 7 to 8 o'clock without me tolling the bells.
Said and done, he toll at eight and repeated: - There goes the dinner for the dead.
The neighborhood got alarmed by that concert, as gloomy as the hour of darkness in which it was heard, and the Priest and the Governor, and the Curate and the Steward, each and all together sent a minstrel to investigate the act. The fervor of the bell ringer increased, and he neither heard nor saw, nor felt:
- Tio Pablo, are you crazy?, let go of those bells, it is time for silence- the ambassadors of the various powers shouted at him; he heard nothing.
Mr. Priest gave him an order, he forcefully repeated the Coadjutor's reprimand. Tio Pablo finally heard the priest and, abandoning the rest of the bell-clappers, he ringed the mass bells and said: - How early, my master, the Priest, got up today.
To this new nonsense, they took away, or tried to take away, the rope from his hands, a campaign was set up; the bell ringer ringed many times due to the contempt for his bell ringer authority and the violation of the territory under his command, and the bells, meanwhile, obeyed the disconcerted movements of all the fighters: they toll, and the toll is one of fury.
The neighbors got up, they ran through the streets, bumping into each other: - Where's the fire?! - asked some, and others shouted - Where is the enemy?!
The commissioners retreated and Tio Pablo ringed for the complete defeat of the enemy. The Governor's assistant calmed everyone down by shouting: - The bell ringer is crazy, you go to sleep, otherwise the proverbial thing will happen: a crazy man makes a hundred.
