The last Wednesday May 22 was the launch of the commemorative coin of the bicentennial of the birth of Don Justo Arosemena. Which is considered "the most relevant Panamanian of the nineteenth century." He dedicated his life to fight for the political autonomy of Panama, which is considered "the most illustrious of Panamanians and father of Panamanian nationality.To celebrate his birth, two coins 2017 and 2018 were both minted of 999 Silver with a diameter of 38.1mm and weight of an ounce both in Proof Quality. In addition, two million 1/4 balboa (quarter dollar, similar) were coined in cuproniquel that began to circulate in Panama, is as current circulation. These coins were made at Royal Canadian Mint. The event was attended by a large delegation of the Numismatic Association of Panama, personalities of the Government of Panama, the bicentennial commission, representatives of the National Bank of Panama as well as the public in general. This series was a run of only 500 pieces in a luxury case. and as long as the existence is exhausted, it will cost $ 75.00 each one

The weekly capsule that on this occasion we have selected the most coveted errors of 1982, in the illustrious personages series, that occurred in Coins of a Balboa CuNi Current Circulation  and of Five Balboas CuNi  Current circulation  & Silver Proof.The errors in the coins  of current circulation consist in that they were minted by placing the inscription of Ley  500 as if it were a Silver coin. The error in the coin of 5 balboas Silver Proof  if it was different because it is a silver coin ley 500 is placed 925, which did not correspond to any coins  Proof  series Illustrious Characters of the 80s.The three errors are very rare, being the balboa the rarest one that according to the World Coin there are only 11 pieces (However it is possible that there are a few more pieces), the second weirdest is in the coin of 5 Balboas Proof as this coin was mostly minted to be placed in the set of 8 and 9 pieces made by the Franklin Mint, it is not a piece that looks loose easily, in this case, there is no census or estimate to determine the amount of pieces. This piece is seen in both sets.The coin of 5 balboas Current circulation Belisario Porras, there is a census of 200 pieces and like the others it is quite rare.NGC and PCG register currencies in grades  MS63, for the 1982 coins  of a Balboa as the highest recorded in the case of 5B of Current Circulation MS68, and finally in the 5B of Silver coin they place one in MS69.We hope the capsule is to everyone's liking
