Armored bust of Vasco Núñez de Balboa facing left, depicted in three-quarter relief within a recessed circular field. The conquistador wears articulated plate armor with a scaled gorget and is shown with a full beard and curled hair. The effigy is rendered in a high-relief sculptural style characteristic of early trial strikes, with radial die-finishing lines visible in the surrounding field. No legend or inscription appears on this obverse trial piece. |

Completely blank reverse with a plain, unworked field, consistent with an obverse-only trial striking used to evaluate the die design. The surface shows heavy oxidation and patination across the entire face, with no devices, legends, or inscriptions present. |

Panama's first national coinage was struck at the Philadelphia Mint under contract, following the republic's separation from Colombia in November 1903. The 1904 series was conceived and produced with remarkable speed given the country was barely months old. Trial pieces in copper served as press and die tests before the silver production runs were authorized, allowing mint technicians to confirm relief depth and die alignment without committing precious metal.
Philadelphia struck the copper trials for internal use; very few left the mint through official channels.
