Comments

Balboa był Hiszpanem i pierwszym Europejczykiem, który przepłynął Przesmyk, dotarł lądem do Pacyfiku i odkrył Archipelag Perlas w 1513 roku.

Od czasu odłączenia się od Kolumbii w 1903 r. Panama używa dolara amerykańskiego. Monety te mają takie same specyfikacje jak United States Dime i krążyły razem z nim.

Ze względu na rosnące ceny srebra, Stany Zjednoczone stopniowo wycofały srebrne monety i wypuściły w ich miejsce platerowane miedzią i niklem monety miedziane. Panama poszła w ich ślady w 1966 roku.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Balboa was a Spaniard and the first European who crossed the Isthmus reached the Pacific by land and discovered the Perlas Archipelago in 1513.

Since its separation from Colombia in 1903, Panama has used the United States Dollar. These coins have the same specifications as the United States Dime and circulated alongside it.

Due to the rising price of silver, the United States phased out the use silver coinage and released copper-nickel clad copper coins in their place. Panama followed suit in 1966.

KM#10.1: High relief

KM#10.2: Low relief
