Maybe it is not technically a dime but close enough.
Un decimo de Balboa is also better translated to One Tenth of a Balboa.
Only my second Panama find since I started this blog. Apparently last time I did not even write about. It was a 1982 Un decimo de Balboa. Nothing to special about 1/10 Balboas but there gaps between minting years. They go from 1985 to 1996 to 2001. I guess they are not that popular.
On the obverse is the national coat of arms under the REPUBLIC DE PANAMA and above the date.
On the reverse is an armored bust of Vasco Núñez de Balboa facing left VN DECIMO DE BALBOA around.
I always find it weird when the bust side of the coin is not the head.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1/10 Balboa / Panama
Year: 1996
Mintage: 21,000,000
Metal: Copper-Nickel Clad Copper
Value: $0.10 in Very-Fine
Made at the Royal Canadian Mint although it has no mintmark. So wait is this another Canadian find?
Do you have a Panamanian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
I didn't even know that they did that. You know, label coins backwards.
ReplyDeleteMan, this is tricky. It looks like cork painted white, or something. I've got nothing today. You've stumped me.

ReplyDeleteWell officially coins should have a heads and tails but sometimes it is difficult to tell.

Well this one is my default, my dirty window sill. I use it often since it has the sunlight coming in but I don't clean it often.
