| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a stylised pre-Columbian golden turtle rendered in a flat, geometric artistic style reminiscent of ancient Panamanian goldwork, with the carapace decorated in a bold crosshatch and circular pattern and the flippers and head depicted in schematic relief. The design fills the majority of the coin's field and is enclosed by a continuous beaded border. The date 1979 is inscribed in the lower exergue in bold numerals. The composition evokes the indigenous huaca art tradition of Panama, lending the issue strong cultural and historical significance. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Panama's conservation series, this coin was struck in response to growing international alarm over the decline of sea turtle populations in the Pacific and Caribbean. Panama was among the first nations to formally incorporate endangered species into its numismatic program during the 1970s, aligning the releases with concurrent environmental legislation. The series attracted significant collector demand outside Panama, and most examples were absorbed directly into foreign collections rather than circulating domestically.
