Info found online (I can not guarantee the accuracy) - "The first Panamanian 1 balboa coin was issued in 1931. It was composed of .900 fine silver, weighed 26.73 grams, and measured 38.1 millimeters in diameter. Its composition, size, and mass were intentionally made identical to those of the United States Peace dollar. A female figure leaning on a simplified Panamanian coat of arms holding a fasces in one hand and an oak branch in the other was depicted on the coin's obverse. The state title of Panama (inscribed as "REPVBLICA DE PANAMA") was separated by the figure, and the year of minting was displayed underneath the depiction. To the right of the female figure was a display of the coin's silver fineness (as "LEY. 0.900") and its mass (as "GR. 26.73"). A portrait of Spanish conquistador and explorer, Vasco Núñez de Balboa flanked by two branches was displayed on the reverse, with the value (as "VN BALBOA") inscribed above. Panamanian artist Roberto Lewis designed the coin's obverse, and American sculptor William Clark Noble designed the reverse. A total of 925, 020 of these coins were produced, with the largest amount (500, 000 coins) being produced in 1947, the final year of minting for the issue, and the lowest amount (200, 020 coins) being produced in 1931. Twenty of the coins minted in 1931 were proofs"
