Aversbeschreibung The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Panama occupying the central field, featuring a quartered shield surmounted by a harpy eagle with wings spread. The shield's quarters depict a sword and rifle in saltire (upper left), a spade and pickaxe in saltire (upper right), a cornucopia (lower left), and a winged wheel (lower right), with a stylized isthmus and two sailing ships in the central horizontal band. Flanking the shield are sprigs of laurel to the left and a palm branch to the right. The curved legend REPVBLICA DE PANAMA arcs above, accompanied by a row of nine stars, while the date 1982 appears in the exergue below.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Panama's piedfort issues of the early 1980s were produced specifically for collectors and never entered circulation. The .400 fine gold composition is unusual — not a standard bullion fineness, not a jewelry standard — chosen presumably to hit a target weight and cost rather than any metallurgical convention. Piedforts by definition are struck at double the standard planchet thickness, though at 1.555 g this piece is exceptionally light even accounting for its 17 mm diameter, suggesting the "piedfort" designation here follows the collector-series logic of the era rather than strict traditional definition.
