Panama – 1978 – 500 Balboas – 30th Anniversary OAS – Gold Proof – PCGS PR69 Deep Cameo<\/h4>\n

The Panama 500 Balboas coin, minted in 1978 by the Franklin Mint, is a commemorative issue celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the OAS (Organization of American States). With a mintage of only 2009, this coin is a rare and sought-after collector’s item.<\/p>\n

With PR69 Deep Cameo, this was rated and certified by the PCGS as a so-called Top Pop, meaning there is no better rated edition by the PCGS.<\/p>\n

The coin is made of .900 fine gold, weighs 41.7 g and measures 46 mm in diameter. It was graded very highly at PR69 Deep Cameo by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), making it an exceptional example of its kind. <\/p>\n

The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of the Republic of Panama as well as the words “REPUBLICA DE PANAMA”, “PRO MUNDI BENEFICIO” and “FM” for Franklin Mint. The lettering also indicates the fineness and weight of the gold, as well as its value of 500 balboas.<\/p>\n

The reverse of the coin features a map of North America and South America in the inner circle and the text “UNIDAD DE LAS AMERICAS
1948 FUNDACION DE LA OEA 1978″<\/p>\n
