Comment
Issue date: February 12, 1905
Balboa was a Spaniard, the first European to cross the Isthmus, to reach the Pacific by land and discover the Perlas Archipelago (1513). The seven stars represent the country's seven provinces at that time (there are now ten).
Approximately 53% of 25 and 50 Centésimo coins were withdrawn in 1917.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1904 Panamanian 25 Centésimos coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Panama's history. The coin was issued just a year after the Panamanian Revolution, which led to the country's independence from Colombia. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic growth and development in Panama, as the country began to establish itself as a major player in international trade and commerce. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of that pivotal moment in Panama's history.
