Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1981 Panama 20 Balboas silver coin is that it features a portrait of Simon Bolivar, also known as "The Liberator," on its obverse side. Bolivar was a Venezuelan military and political leader who played a key role in the Latin American wars of independence against Spain, and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the Americas. The coin's design was created by Panamanian artist R.L. Mora and was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Bolivar's death.
