Comment
Those coins were minted by the Royal Canadian Mint with an erroneously silver content on the reverse.Interesting fact
The 1 Balboa (Mule) coin from Panama, issued between 1975 and 1976, has an interesting feature. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. Despite its relatively small weight of 22.68 grams, it's made of copper-nickel clad copper, which gives it a distinctive look and durability. This coin is a unique addition to any collection, and its rarity makes it a valuable piece for numismatists.
