| Obverse description | The denomination UN CENTESIMO appears prominently in the central field, supported below by a laurel wreath and flanked by the date 1953 beneath the wreath. An arc of nine stars curves above the denomination, with the national legend REPUBLICA DE PANAMA inscribed along the upper periphery. The overall design is clean and heraldic in character, with the inscriptions arranged in a formal, symmetrical layout typical of mid-twentieth century Latin American coinage. |

| Additional information |
Panama's 1953 silver pattern centésimo was struck as part of an exploratory coinage program that ultimately went nowhere — the circulating 1 centésimo remained a copper-zinc piece, and no silver version entered production. Pattern issues of this type were typically produced in extremely small numbers for official examination, making survival rates unpredictable and auction appearances rare.
