1934 Panama Silver 1/2 Balboa XF (ASW 0.3617)
1934 Panama Silver 1/2 Balboa XF (ASW 0.3617)
This silver coin from 1934 represents a fascinating moment in Central American numismatics. Struck with a purity of 0.900 silver, the half Balboa contains 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal. Cataloged by collectors as KM#12.1, this specific issue is preserved in Extra Fine condition, allowing its detailed artistry to remain highly visible. One side of the coin features the official coat of arms of Panama, surrounded by inscriptions that denote its weight of 12.50 grams and its silver fineness. The opposite side displays the left-facing profile of the Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa, clad in armor. This classic design elegantly pairs the nation's heraldic symbol with the historical figure for whom its currency is named.
