Interesting fact

The 2½ Centésimos coin featuring Victoriano Lorenzo, issued by Panama from 1983 to 1985, has an interesting design. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Victoriano Lorenzo, a prominent Panamanian military leader and politician, while the reverse side features the Panamanian coat of arms. This coin is unique because it was produced in a non-circulating format, meaning it was not meant for everyday use as legal tender, but rather as a collector's item. Additionally, it's made of copper-nickel clad copper, which gives it a distinctive look and durability.
