| Aanvullende informatie |
Panama's first national coinage was authorized almost immediately after independence from Colombia in November 1903, with contracts placed in quick succession at U.S. mints. This tiny silver piece — the smallest denomination in that inaugural series — earned its "Panama Pill" nickname from its near-pharmaceutical dimensions, a natural consequence of maintaining silver parity at fractional values for a brand-new republic with no monetary infrastructure of its own.
The entire 1904 issue was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Circulation life was brutal for pieces this small; attrition rates were high.
