Not big on World coins but do pick them up occasionally. I'm really starting to like the Panamanian issues.
I picked this one up at work today.

Nothing rare I just think the reverse is beautiful.

If memory serves, these coins have precisely the same specifications as a U.S. dollar, and were minted in Philadelphia.
The figure on the reverse is stunning. I want to call her Liberty, even if that isn't correct for a Panamanian issue. Whoever she is, the image is one of my favorite full length figures on a coin. I believe that she is on par with the Walker half and the french Semeuse.

You are correct Buzzard.
Minted in the U.S. and I LOVE the reverse. Had to have it. 500,000 minted yet reasonably priced.
Actually the boss gave me this one for nothing. Kind of a bonus.
