Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Centésimos coin from Panama is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of a indigenous woman on one side and the Panamanian coat of arms on the other. This design was created by the Panamanian artist, José de la Vega, and it was specifically chosen to highlight the country's rich cultural heritage and diversity.
