| Reverse description | A detailed frontal view of the Iglesia Santa Ana (Church of Santa Ana) in Panama City is depicted in the bimetallic centre, showcasing the colonial-era façade with its characteristic bell tower, arched entrance portal, and ornate roofline surmounted by a cross. The church's architectural features are rendered with fine engraving against a plain field. The legend IGLESIA SANTA ANA curves along the upper portion of the outer ring, while JMJ PANAMÁ appears in the lower centre accompanied by decorative floral ornaments, with the date 2019 inscribed below in the exergue area of the ring. |

| Additional information |
Panama's 1 Balboa bimetallic series, launched in the 2010s, was designed to replace the country's longstanding reliance on circulating U.S. dollar coins — Panama has used the dollar alongside the Balboa at par since the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903 effectively handed monetary policy to Washington. The Santa Ana Church in Panama City, one of the oldest surviving colonial religious structures in the Americas, anchors this issue in the Casco Viejo district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
KM#166 is part of a rotating architectural series; individual issues see limited secondary market movement given ongoing production and wide circulation.
