100 Balboas Native design

One interesting fact about the 100 Balboas (Native design) 1982 gold coin from Panama is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's indigenous culture. The coin's obverse side depicts a portrait of a Kuna woman, a member of one of the indigenous tribes in Panama, wearing a traditional headdress and necklace. The reverse side features a representation of a Kuna village, complete with huts and canoes, surrounded by lush vegetation. This design was created by the Panamanian artist, Lupita de la Rosa, and it was the first time that an indigenous design was featured on a Panamanian coin. This coin is not only a beautiful collector's item but also a representation of the rich cultural heritage of Panama's indigenous communities.
