He is depicted wearing an ornately engraved morion helmet with scroll and floral decoration, and a ruffled collar visible at the base of the neck. His bearded countenance is rendered with considerable sculptural detail, conveying a strong, commanding portrait. The legend VASCO NUÑEZ DE BALBOA curves along the upper periphery in evenly spaced capital letters, while the date 1979 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |

Panama has never operated its own central bank and issues no paper currency of its own — the US dollar has served as the de facto national currency since 1904, with Panamanian coinage existing purely as subsidiary fractional tender fully interchangeable at par. The balboa, in practice, is a coin denomination without a banknote equivalent, making the one-balboa piece the largest denomination Panama actually mints.
KM#39.1 was struck at the Franklin Mint during years when Panama contracted outside facilities for much of its coinage production. The .1 variety designation reflects minor specification differences from the subsequent KM#39.2 subtype.
