Comments

Balboa był Hiszpanem, pierwszym Europejczykiem, który przekroczył Przesmyk, dotarł lądem do Pacyfiku i odkrył Archipelag Perlas (1513).

Od czasu odłączenia się od Kolumbii w 1903 r. Panama używa dolara amerykańskiego. Monety te mają takie same specyfikacje jak amerykańska ćwierćdolarówka i krążyły razem z nią.

Ze względu na rosnące ceny srebra, Stany Zjednoczone stopniowo wycofały srebrne monety i wypuściły w ich miejsce miedziano-niklowe monety platerowane miedzią. Panama poszła w ich ślady w 1966 roku. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Balboa was a Spaniard, first European who crossed the Isthmus, reached the Pacific by land, and discovered the Perlas Archipelago (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 Quarter 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.
