Tiratura	1907 - - 1,000,000 1907 - Proof -
Informazioni aggiuntive	Panama's early coinage was struck under contract in the United States — this piece, like others of the series, was produced at the Philadelphia Mint following the country's independence from Colombia in 1903. The 1907 issue came during a period when the U.S. exercised considerable influence over Panamanian monetary policy, and American mints handled production for decades precisely because Panama lacked its own minting infrastructure. The half-centésimo saw limited practical use in daily commerce and was discontinued relatively early in the series.
