| Reverse description | The reverse displays the colored official logo of World Youth Day Panama 2019, designed by Ambar Calvo, a student at the University of Panama, selected through a contest convened by Pope Francis. At the center of the polychrome logo stands a stylized figure of the Virgin Mary, her five-pointed crown symbolizing the five continents sending pilgrims to the event. The silhouette of the Panamanian Isthmus and the Panama Canal are integrated into the composition, representing both the host nation and the pilgrim's spiritual journey toward Christ through Mary. The legend JORNADA MUNDIAL DE LA JUVENTUD arcs along the upper field, with PANAMÁ 2019 inscribed in the lower field of the outer ring. |

| Additional information |
World Youth Day 2019 was held in Panama City — the first time the event had been hosted in Central America. Pope Francis presided over the gathering, which drew an estimated 700,000 pilgrims for the closing Mass at Metro Park. The colored application on this circulation-quality bimetallic issue is typical of commemorative add-ons produced for souvenir markets rather than general release.
