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

Very beautiful coin set. I really like the idea of a collector issue and a circulation coin. Interesting that Canada minted it for Panama. I enjoy hearing about the Panama numismatics you bring us. Thanks. I'll be reading about Don Justo Arosemena.

Beautiful coin and insight into the history of Panama. I like the idea of a coin for collectors in Silver and a coin for commercial use in cupro-nickel. Thank You for sharing this wonderful coin.

Sounds like a wonderful man and deserves such an honor. The price doesn't mean anything. It's why they honored this great man with one. I enjoyed reading this there are many famous men in the world and sometimes this is how we hear about them . Very good and thanks for the great pictures pat

I really like what you write. There are many famous men and sometimes this is how we hear of them. Isn't that the truth. Coins and medals and tokens have shown me so much about history that I didn't know, forgot, or didnt understand before.
